Abstract
We describe a case of phlegmonous colitis occurring in a 70-year-old m an with liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and acute promyelocy tic leukemia, He developed an acute abdominal emergency and died durin g the first day of admission. Autopsy revealed a colon lesion characte rized by suppurative inflammation associated with marked edema and hem orrhage in the submucosa, These findings were identical both macroscop ically and microscopically to those of phlegmonous colitis.
