Gefitinib, the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is effective for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. However, a serious adverse effect, interstitial lung disease (ILD), has been reported. The re-administration of gefitinib might be considered when there is no other choice of treatment and a therapeutic effect can be expected; however, there is no published data on the safety of restarting gefitinib after its discontinuation in cases suspected of having gefitinib-induced ILD. We report a case with recurrent gefitinib-induced ILD, which suggests that re-administration of gefitinib should be considered cautiously in patients who have previously developed gefitinib-induced ILD.
