ABSTRACT
Typhlitis is a necrotizing enterocolitis of the cecum, ascending colon and terminal ileum. Typhlits has been reported in the severely neutropenic patients and likely results from a combination of neutropenia and defects in the bowel mucosa related to cytotoxic chemotherapy. This disease is most common in patients with leukemia who have undergone intensive myeloablative chemotherapy. Presumptive diagnostic criteria for typhlitis include fever, abdominal pain and tenderness, and radiologic evidence of right-sided colonic inflammation in patients with neutropenia. Recently, this disease is also reported in patients with solid tumor due to increasing challenges of high dose chemotherapy. We report a case of typhlitis developed in the circumstance of neutropenia induced by chemotherapy in a patient with malignant testicular tumor.
