Abstract:
We report 2 children with acute leukemia who developed symptomatic cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis shortly after receiving sequential high-dose cytarabine and asparaginase. Known risk factors for gallstone formation were not present in our patients. These children did not experience any unusual therapy-related hepatic toxicity after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
