Popis:	A 47-year-old man underwent orchidectomy and radiotherapy for seminoma. Six years later he received chemotherapy for oesophageal carcinoma. After the second cycle gangrenous pancolitis developed, necessitating total colectomy. The pancolitis presumably resulted from the earlier irradiation and current chemotherapy. This complication has particularly grave implications in oesophageal malignancy, since colon is often used as oesophageal substitute.
