Pancreatitis Induced by 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Although pancreatitis is known as a common complication during the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute pancreatitis that's induced by 6-mercaptopurine or 6-thioguanine is very uncommon. We experienced the case of an 11-year-old boy with consecutive acute pancreatitis, and this was induced by 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine during maintenance chemotherapy of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We report here on this along with a review of the pertinent literature.

Abstract
Although pancreatitis is known as a common complication during the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute pancreatitis that's induced by 6-mercaptopurine or 6-thioguanine is very uncommon. We experienced the case of an 11-year-old boy with consecutive acute pancreatitis, and this was induced by 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine during maintenance chemotherapy of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We report here on this along with a review of the pertinent literature.
