Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity with hemoptysis and a lung mass
2009
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug that has adverse effects involving the lungs and other organs. Amiodarone-induced pneumonitis is a distinct, not uncommon form of drug-induced lung injury. By contrast, amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity presenting with hemoptysis and a lung mass is rare. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman with hemoptysis and a lung mass who had taken amiodarone for 6 years to control a ventricular arrhythmia. After drug withdrawal without any additional treatment, clinical and radiological improvement was observed.
