ABSTRACT
Neutropenic enterocolitis is a rare inflammatory condition of the ileocecum. Clinicians should be aware of neutropenic enterocolitis in neutropenic patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing chemotherapy as it portends a poor prognosis if not diagnosed early in its course. We report a patient diagnosed with neutropenic enterocolitis within one week of receiving induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia.
