Abstract
Early recognition and adequate treatment of neutropenic enterocolitis, a life-threatening complication of aggressive chemotherapy for leukemia, lymphoma or other malignancy, may offer a favorable outcome. Three cases are presented, including the first reported occurrence in a child with osteogenic sarcoma. Two patients were treated surgically and the third conservatively.
