Abstracts

EN

We present a case of a 70-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with second-line everolimus after rapid progression on first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in whom a side effect of the therapy occurred in the form of a drug-induced interstitial lung disease. We also provide a review of the literature concerning opinions on incidence, clinical picture, consequences and management of the complication discussed.
