Abstract
A patient with nodular histiocytic lymphoma was treated with bleomycin; she later developed interstitial pneumonitis documented by lung biopsy. The dose of bleomycin producing this complication was lower than previously reported, and the pulmonary toxicity was apparently completely reversible.
