title: Two cases of retroperitoneal hematoma caused by combination of anticoagulant therapy and 5-fluorouracil.
abstract: We reported two cases of retroperitoneal hematoma in patients who received a combination of anticoagulant therapy and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). We should be aware of the possible interaction of this combination therapy and monitor prothrombin time (PT) prolongation. CT is useful for evaluation of the disease.
