REGRESSION OF OXYMETHOLONE-INDUCED HEPATIC TUMORS AFTER BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION IN APLASTIC ANEMIA

Abstract
Treatment of acquired aplastic anemia with androgens has been occasionally associated with the development of hepatic tumors. We have studied a 13-year-old boy with idiopathic aplastic anemia in whom oxymetholone treatment was associated with a partial hematological remission. Thirty-four months later, however, the patient developed multiple hepatic tumors.
