  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung requires aggressive treatment.
  • Chemotherapy (paclitaxel) and radiation therapy are common treatment modalities.
  • Gastrointestinal side effects are frequent during cancer therapy.

Observation:

  • A patient undergoing paclitaxel and radiation therapy presented with fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
  • Sigmoidoscopy was performed to rule out pseudomembranous colitis.
  • The procedure revealed multiple mucosal petechiae in the colon.

Findings:

  • Histologic examination confirmed neutropenic colitis.
  • Neutropenic colitis is an inflammation of the colon associated with a low neutrophil count.
