Gemcitabine mono-therapy was carried out in an unresectable pancreatic cancer. After six courses of treatment, pitting edema appeared and gradually became worse especially after gemcitabine infusion. Gemcitabine-induced edema was suspected after exclusion of other causes. Diuretics and steroids were useful to control the peripheral edema in this case, and gemcitabine therapy could be continued.
