Abstract

Bleomycin is an antibiotic agent that has anti-tumor efficiency. Dose limiting toxicity depends on pulmonary complications which can be diagnosed by clinical and radiological findings. Positron emission tomography / computed tomography screening is also useful for this purpose. We report an interstitial eosinophilic pneumonia case, diagnosed with Positron emission tomography / computed tomography and surgery, developing after bleomycin combination chemotherapy.
