Synchronous double malignancy: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia and carcinoma rectum
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Synchronous double malignancy involving hematopoietic system and solid organs is rare. We report an interesting case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and carcinoma rectum. High index of suspicion is required in leukemic patients with bleeding per rectum to diagnose synchronous malignancy at an early stage.
