ABSTRACT
Secondary leukemias are an increasingly well recognized complication of cancer chemotherapy. We report on the development of undifferentiated leukemia in a forty one year lady, eighteen months after treatment of gastric cancer with 5-fluorouracil (5 FU), doxorubicin and mitomycin C. She developed progressive weakness and pancytopenia over a period of few months. Leukemic blasts which were undifferentiated by immunophenotyping were seen in her peripheral blood. She died of intracranial haemorrhage during induction chemotherapy for the leukemia. Undifferentiated leukemia is a rare complication of FAM chemotherapy for gastric cancer.
