Abstract
We report a case of trastuzumab pneumonitis in a patient with metastatic breast cancer. Bronchoalveolar lavage showed marked neutrophilia. A CT scan of the chest showed diffuse ground-glass opacities. The patient was treated with corticosteroids with a partial response. Trastuzumab-associated pneumonitis is not well described, and data in the literature is sparse. We describe the clinical and radiographical findings of trastuzumab-associated pneumonitis.Entities:
