Abstract
A case of an occult adenocarcinoma of the pancreas in a 17-year-old leukemic girl on immunosuppressive therapy is reported. Although the presence of two primary neoplasms in this case may be purely coincidental and unrelated to therapy, the rarity of pancreatic adenocarcinoma at this age suggests that the neoplasm may be an undesired complication of immunosuppressive therapy. These findings add to the increasing evidence of the role of immunosuppression in facilitating tumor growth in experimental animals and man.
