Abstract

Aminoglutethimide is an investigational agent of proven benefit in the treatment of metastatic breast carcinoma. A case of aminoglutethimide-induced pancytopenia complicated by bleeding and gram-negative septicemia was reported. Severe pancytopenia is a rare but important side effect of this new drug and was rapidly reversible when the agent was withdrawn.
