Organizing pneumonia is a recognized complication after external beam radiotherapy of breast and lung cancer but has not been described after radioembolization. A 67-year-old female who underwent ablative trans-arterial radioembolization for the treatment of hepatic metastatic renal cell carcinoma adjacent to the diaphragm presented with computed tomography findings of asymptomatic organizing pneumonia in the lower lobes. A follow-up computed tomography 8 months after conservative management demonstrated near-total resolution of the previous pulmonary parenchymal disease. The patient continues to remain asymptomatic and shows no evidence of residual tumor 10 months after radioembolization.
