Abstract

A 62-year-old female was diagnosed with stage IIIA non-small-cell lung carcinoma, treated with radiation and chemotherapy with weekly Taxol and Carboplatin (Figures 1A and B). Radiotherapy included a multi-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatment plan involving right lower lobe and draining lymph nodes with a total dose of 6660 cGy (37 fractions, 55 days). A month later, she presented to the emergency department for the complaints of shortness of breath of one week duration.
