The authors report two cases of myocardial infarction following the injection of vincristine. The vincristine is held responsible for several reasons: absence of past history or risk factors of coronary artery disease, no past history of mediastinal radiotherapy, the development of coronary manifestations several hours after the injection of vincristine. Both cases followed a fatal course. The pathophysiology of this iatrogenic complications is unclear. Any patient receiving such treatment should be carefully monitored clinically and electrocardiographically.
