Core Tip	Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is relatively uncommon in patients with lung cancer. We report a case of PCP in a 59-year-old man with a past medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treated with formoterol and a moderate daily dose of inhaled budesonide. He had also advanced stage non-small lung cancer treated with concurrent chemo-radiation. This report attempts to alert for the importance of PCP screening in lung cancer patients under chemotherapeutic regimens and with increasing dyspnea. It also alerts to the role of long-term inhaled corticosteroids as a risk factor for PCP in patients with lung cancer.
