[A case of acute promyelocytic leukemia complicated with severe esophageal stenosis caused by aclacinomycin A].

    Aclacinomycin A (ACM) is different from other anthracycline antibiotics in its antitumor activity and clinical effect. We report a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia complicated with severe esophageal ulcer by BH-AC . AMP therapy. The patient was 24 years old. In 1983, he achieved complete remission with BH-AC . DMP therapy but we confirmed relapse in April, 1984. ACM caused nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, alimentary tract bleeding and sore throat, together with a complication of esophageal stenosis. In about half of 10 cases receiving BH-AC . AMP therapy in our hospital, we noticed severe bleeding in the urinary treat, genital organs and alimentary tract. Care should therefore be taken with regard to mucosal injury when ACM therapy is used.
