Résumé :

A case of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) following chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP) and etoposide (VP16) for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosed 24 months before is reported. Although the fortuitous occurrence of two unrelated malignancies cannot be excluded, the hypothesis of secondary leukemia must be taken into account. The clinical and experimental data implying these agents, generally considered to be noncarcinogenic in man, in the occurrence of secondary malignancies are briefly discussed. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
