Abdominal pain is common during chemotherapy for childhood leukemia. Clinically differentiating typhlitis from appendicitis can be difficult. We present an 8-year-old boy with abdominal pain in the setting of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and neutropenia. Following appendectomy for presumed appendicitis, pathology revealed appendiceal typhlitis. Diagnostic and treatment considerations are discussed.
腹痛在儿童白血病化疗期间很常见。临床上区分盲肠炎和阑尾炎可能很困难。我们报告一名8岁患有急性淋巴细胞白血病和中性粒细胞减少症的腹痛男孩。在因疑似阑尾炎进行阑尾切除术后,病理显示为阑尾盲肠炎。文中讨论了诊断和治疗方面的考虑因素。
