RESUMO
A 52-year-old woman presented with ventricular tachycardia after receiving amiodarone for the previous 18 months. The chest roentgenogram revealed evidence of multiple pleural-based cavitary nodules despite the absence of respiratory disease on clinical examination. The nodules were attributed to amiodarone because of histologic changes noted at open-lung biopsy. The cavitating nodules cleared with the discontinuation of amiodarone.
