Abstract
Pneumoperitoneum and cystic intestinal pneumatosis associated to chemotherapy treatment are rare entities, with non-well stablished etiology and controversial management. We report two cases of oncological patients presenting with this complication as incidental finding in CT scan. Their course was favourable under conservative non-surgical approach associated with interruption of chemoterapy treatment.
