Description Dasatinib is a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor of not only Bcr-Abl1, but also of the Src kinase family, c-kit and PDGFR-b. This “offtarget” effect is the probable cause of pleural effusions, which complicate dasatinib therapy in about one third of patients. The following case report describes a chronic myeloid leukaemia patient with not only recurrent pleural effusions but also pulmonary arterial hypertension as a serious adverse event leading to dasatinib discontinuation.
