 Although breast-conserving therapy(BCT)has recently become the standard care for early stage breast cancer, radiation pneumonitis, drug-induced pneumonitis and the organizing of pneumonia are important adverse effects. We report two patients that presented cough and fever for 4 to 8 months after the completion of tangential irradiation for breast cancer. Chest radiograph and computed tomography demonstrated consolidation outside the irradiated area. Radiation-related organizing pneumonia was diagnosed from its clinical course, laboratory and histological findings. It has been reported that the incidence of organizing pneumonia was 1.3 to 2.4% in previous reports, but there seems to be no established data. In our hospital, 537 patients have undergone BCT from January, 2004 to December, 2011. The incidence of organizing pneumonia was 3 patients(0.56%;3/537). One possibility is to assume that previous studies might have included drug-induced pneumonitis due to endocrine therapy or chemotherapy. Another possibility is that the radiation field tends to reduce in comparison with the past. It is essential to find out the pulmonary complications such as radiation-related organizing pneumonia after BCT.
