We report a case of fulminant hepatitis that was caused by XELOX therapy administered for metastatic rectal cancer. A 69- year-old man with metastatic rectal cancer received 4 courses XELOX therapy. He was subsequently admitted to our hospital with general fatigue. Shenzhen flapping and altered consciousness were noticed on the fifth day of hospitalization. A liver biopsy was subsequently performed. The patient was diagnosed with liver failure due to sinusoidal obstruction syndrome caused by oxaliplatin. This case provides valuable information as there are only a few reports of fulminant hepatitis caused by oxaliplatin.
