Abstract
Interstitial pneumonitis after treatment with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) has been rarely reported. We describe herein a case of interstitial pneumonitis in a 49-year-old woman with relapsed ovarian carcinoma treated with PLD. Twenty-five days after the second administration of PLD, she presented with fever and dry cough, and chest CT scans revealed bilateral interstitial infiltrates and ground-glass opacities. She was diagnosed to have interstitial pneumonitis induced by PLD. Steroid therapy improved her symptoms.Entities:
