Irinotecan is a cytotoxic medication used to treat various cancers. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) and interstitial pulmonary disease (IPD) are both serious and life-threatening complications, which are rarely reported to be associated with irinotecan. In our case, however, a pancreatic cancer patient developed both DAH and IPD after administration of irinotecan with fluorouracil (5FU).
