Fatal Lung Toxicity After Intralesional Bleomycin Sclerotherapy of a Vascular Malformation.
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology 2020 April
Although there has been increased utilization of bleomycin in the treatment of low-flow vascular malformations in children, previous studies report minor adverse effects limited to skin changes/necrosis and flu-like symptoms (Horbach et al. in J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 69(3):295-304, 2016). However, there have been rare reported cases of pulmonary injury observed in children after bleomycin intralesional administration. We report a case of fatal lung toxicity in a 15-month-old girl after injecting 7 units of bleomycin into a left cheek macrocystic lymphatic malformation. 1 week after therapy, she developed respiratory distress with imaging findings of pneumothorax and diffuse alveolar damage. Despite extensive management and resuscitative efforts of presumed pneumonitis, further decline resulted in death via respiratory failure. Early detection of pulmonary toxicity would allow prompt therapy and could avoid significant pulmonary damage.
