Abstract
Two patients are described who developed acute leukemia during a 7- to 20-year quiescent phase of inflammatory bowel disease. The possibility of an association of leukemia to the diagnostic radiation received or a susceptibility to malignancy other than adenocarcinoma in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is suggested.
