Abstract

Pegfilgrastim is a long‑acting granulocyte colony‑stimulating factor formulation that has been approved for the prevention of febrile neutropenia. We herein report a case of interstitial pneumonia following administration of pegfilgrastim. A 65‑year‑old man with stage IV small‑cell lung cancer was treated with carboplatin and etoposide as third‑line chemotherapy. Pegfilgrastim was administered during the second cycle of chemotherapy. On the day after the administration of pegfilgrastim, interstitial pneumonia developed. The respiratory condition improved with pulse steroid therapy; however, the patient eventually succumbed to cancer progression. In conclusion, interstitial pneumonia due to pegfilgrastim is rare; however, physicians should be aware of the possibility of this adverse effect.
