A 62-year-old woman developed fulminant neutropenic colitis following aggressive chemotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. An urgently performed computerized tomographic (CT) study demonstrated the predominant involvement of the transverse colon. We present a brief description of the CT features of neutropenic colitis in this unusual presentation.
