[A Case of Rectal Cancer with Lymphangiosis Carcinomatosa Successfully Treated with Chemotherapy Despite Anaphylactic Reaction to Oxaliplatin].

ABSTRACT

A 64-year-old man was admitted because of dyspnea. He was diagnosed with rectal cancer with lymphangiosis carcinomatosa and metastases in the liver and lymph nodes. The patient was treated with cetuximab and modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6). After treatment, the primary rectal cancer and metastases were considered to have achieved a partial response (PR) and the lymphangiosis carcinomatosa remarkably improved. However, anaphylactic shock occurred in the 6 courses of treatment, 5 minutes after the infusion of oxaliplatin, and the patient was treated.
