N2  - 5-Fluorouracil is the key chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal system. However, serious cardiac side effects related to 5-fluorouracil treatment including coronary vasospasm, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy and sudden death have been reported previously. The incidence of cardiotoxic effects depends on thedose and route of application.In this case report, a coronary vasospasm mimicking anterolateral myocardial infarction due to 5-fl uorouracil-induced cardiotoxicity was presented.It must be kept in mind that 5-fl uorouracil may cause coronary vasospasm mimicking acute myocardial infarction and the situation can be treated successfully with nitrates and calcium channelblockers.
