Abstract EN
A 52-year-old Japanese woman was examined because of general malaise, weight loss and a lump in her left breast.
She was diagnosed with cancer of the left breast and Graves' disease, and was administered methimazole (MMI).
A left mastectomy was performed for the breast cancer.
She presented with a high fever and peripheral blood examination revealed a severe pancytopenia.
She was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia, and administered G-CSF, however, the treatment was unsuccessful.
Thus, oral methyprednisolone and cyclosporin were added.
There was a remarkable improvement in the peripheral blood count.
