Abstract
|
|
|
|
The association of colorectal cancer with ulcerative colitis (UC) is well-recognized. However, not much is known regarding the increased risk of extra-intestinal malignancies with UC. Several studies have revealed that patients with UC are at increased risk of hepatobiliary cancer, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and myeloid leukemia. A 41-year-old man was diagnosed with UC in 1993 and had three relapses over the next three years. Six months after the fourth remission, he developed pancytopenia and was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). He achieved complete remissions of APL through chemotherapies, and, since then, no recurrences of APL and UC were observed.
