We describe a case of a 60-year-old man with a prolonged thrombocytopenia during a durvalumab maintenance therapy after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma. Bone marrow specimen was normoplastic with the marked megakaryocyte depletion, which was assumed to be an acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura. Although hematological disorders as immune-related adverse events (irAE) are rare, we should pay more attention to hematological disorders with durvalumab especially after concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
