Adenovirus pneumonia mimicking osimertinib‐induced pneumonitis in a patient with advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation: A case report

Abstract Drug‐related pneumonitis (DRP) caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is a fatal adverse event in patients with EGFR‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The diagnosis of DRP is based on radiological findings, the temporal association of pr...

description Abstract Drug‐related pneumonitis (DRP) caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is a fatal adverse event in patients with EGFR‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The diagnosis of DRP is based on radiological findings, the temporal association of presentation with the initiation of a systemic therapeutic agent, and the exclusion of other likely causes. Here we report a case in which severe adenoviral pneumonia mimicking DRP occurred during treatment with osimertinib, and osimertinib was successfully resumed after recovery from adenoviral pneumonia.
