[Four gastrectomized cases associated with chronic leukemia].
We reviewed 4 gastrectomized cases associated with chronic leukemia. Three patients had chronic myelogenous leukemia, one had hairy cell leukemia. Subtotal gastrectomy was performed in all cases; two operations were for gastric cancer and two for bleeding gastric ulcers. The spleen was removed in three patients without any trouble. There were no difficulties in managing the patients during and after surgery and their leukemia was not aggravated during these periods.
