- Abstract
- 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. (Korean J Med 77:S1202-S1205, 2009)
