A 26-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic due to precordial pain, sweating, nausea and vomiting. Electrocardiogram and cardiac enzymes were consistent with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The patient had a history of 2 courses of chemotherapy (cisplatin + etoposide + bleomycin) upon detection of testis tumor (seminoma) on the last day of which he had symptoms of AMI. Acute myocardial infarction was accepted to be caused by cisplatin and etoposide. Since AMI due to chemotherapy is a very rare complication, it is decided to report this case.
