    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Management

    Background:

    • Leukemia in children can lead to rare gastrointestinal complications.
    • Immunosuppression and steroid therapy are known risk factors for stress ulceration.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric leukemia patients presented with perforated duodenal ulcers.
    • These ulcers were likely secondary to immunosuppressive and steroid treatments.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical oversewing of perforated duodenal ulcers was achieved in both children.
    • This case represents the second report of ulceration in childhood leukemia, suggesting a link to the disease and its treatment.

    Implications:

    • Conservative surgical intervention and removal of the causative insult are effective for stress ulceration in children.

  • Prophylactic measures, including antacids or Cimetidine, are recommended for pediatric patients receiving combined immunosuppression and high-dose steroids, particularly those undergoing bone marrow transplantation.
