Abstract

Intestinal mucus accumulation is a very rare situation observed in some solid tumors, intestinal inflammation, mucosal hyperplasia, elevated intestinal pressure, and various other diseases. However, it has never been described in acute myeloblastic leukemia. The pathogenesis of intestinal mucus accumulation is still not clear. Here, we report a 14-year-old girl with acute myeloblastic leukemia and febrile neutropenia in addition to typhlitis. She was also immobilized due to joint contractures of the lower extremities and had intestinal mucus accumulation, which was, at first, misdiagnosed as intestinal parasitosis. We speculate that typhlitis, immobilization and decreased intestinal motility due to usage of antiemetic drugs might have been the potential etiologic factors in this case. However, its impact on prognosis of the primary disease is unknown.

Özet

İntestinal mukus birikimi, solid tümörler, intestinal inflamasyon, mukozal hiperplazi, intestinal basınç artışı gibi çeşitli hastalıklarda nadiren görülen bir durumdur. Ancak, bu durum akut miyeloblastik lösemili hastalarda bildirilmemiştir. İntestinal mukus birikiminin patogenezi ise hala tam olarak bilinememektedir. Burada, 14 yaşında akut miyeloblastik lösemili, febril nötropenili ve tifilitli bir kız hastayı sunduk. Hastamız, ayrıca alt ekstremite eklem kontraktürü nedeniyle immobilize idi. İntestinal mukus birikimi nedeniyle başlangıçta intestinal parazitoz tanısı almıştı. Biz burada, tiflit, immobilizasyon ve kullanılan antiemetikler nedeniyle barsak hareketlerinin azalmasının potansiyel etyolojik faktörler olabileceğini düşündük. Ancak, bu durumun primer hastalığın prognozu üzerine etkisi bilinmemektedir.
