Background: Fludarabine is a chemotherapeutic agent with lymphodepleting effects that is increasingly used as part of a conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Fludarabine is generally considered a relatively safe medication with only rare cases of cardiotoxic side effects.
Case Presentation: Here, we present a case of a 30-year-old woman who was undergoing conditioning for a haploidentical cell transplantation for treatment of Fanconi anemia with a 5-day course of daily fludarabine infusion.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare hereditary disease resulting from an inactivating mutation in the FA/BRCA pathway, critical for the effective repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). The disease is characterized by congenital abnormalities, progressing bone marrow failure, and an increased risk of developing malignancies early in life, in particular head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). While ICL-inducing cisplatin combined with radiotherapy is a mainstay of HNSCC treatment, cisplatin is contra-indicated for FA-HNSCC patients.
