Pancytopenia or granulocytopenia has been observed with tolmetin sodium, naproxen, phenylbutazone, and indomethacin. To our knowledge, this side effect has not previously been reported with sulindac. We present a case of aplastic anemia apparently associated with use of sulindac.A 54-year-old white man with classic ankylosing spondylitis also had apical pulmonary fibrosis and mild Addison's disease.
