Abstract

We report the case of a young man who presented with right lower quadrant pain, while being treated for acute lymphatic leukaemia. Clinical findings were suggestive of appendicitis. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen was done and showed the presence of a neutropenic enterocolitis or typhlitis.
