Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 78-year-old man was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, and left nephrectomy was performed. He started pazopanib. One month later, he visited our hospital because of general weakness and dyspnea. His oxygen saturation was low. A chest X-ray showed pulmonary edema and bilateral pleural effusion. An echocardiogram showed a larger left ventricle and lower ejection fraction than observed at the previous examination. The patient discontinued pazopanib and started diuretics and digoxin. His symptoms improved and a follow-up X-ray showed improvement in the pulmonary edema with bilateral pleural effusion.
