| Popis: |
A 62-year-old white female with a history of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer on a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel in the adjuvant setting presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. She tolerated 4 cycles of dose-dense adriamycin/cyclophosphamide with no major symptoms. After 6 cycles of weekly paclitaxel in combination with carboplatin every 3 weeks, she presented with diarrhea and lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Colonosopic examination showed erythema and inflammation in the splenic flexure, descending colon, and sigmoid colon consistent with ischemic colitis. Pathology favored the same diagnosis. She was treated conservatively with intravenous fluids and bowel rest. Chemotherapy was held for 2 weeks and resumed after recovery without carboplatin. She was able to tolerate the remaining 6 cycles of paclitaxel with no recurrence of her symptoms. |
