We are reporting a case of pneumonitis in an 81 year old-aged woman due to gemcitabine who was successfully managed with steroids. We also reviewed the literature and found previous case reports of gemcitabine induced pneumonitis.We reported this case to alert physicians to be aware of this infrequent and sometimes fatal complication from gemcitabine.
