Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of bilateral anterior uveitis that developed after treatment with peroral erlotinib. Case:An 85-year-old male was referred to us for blurring and hyperemia in both eyes. He had been diagnosed with non-small cell lung carcinoma 15 months before. The lesion failed to respond to two sessions of chemotherapy. He started receiving peroral erlotinib at the dail dosis of 150mg since 6 weeks before. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.8 right and 1.0 left. Both eyes showed Koeppe nodules. The right eye showed posterior synechia. Signs of anterior uveitis remained unchanged 2 days after topical corticosteroid. Withdrawal of erlotinib was followed by remarkable improvement of uveitis 4 days later. Conclusion:Systemic erlotinib may have triggered uveitis in both eyes after longstanding systemic state of inflammation by lung carcinoma.
