    Abstract Nintedanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2014. The most common side effect of Nintedanib is diarrhea, and thrombocytopenia is a rare side effect of Nintedanib. The exact mechanism is unknown, and the literature lacks case reports of this phenomenon. Here, we report the case of a patient who developed thrombocytopenia 12 weeks after starting treatment with Nintedanib. The patient underwent an extensive work up for infectious, hematological, autoimmune, and neoplastic diseases. The patient's thrombocytopenia resolved following cessation of Nintedanib. This case is significant as it reports a rare side effect that might have detrimental consequences if not recognized and treated timely. Additionally, the onset of thrombocytopenia was delayed, 3 months after the initiation of Nintedanib. We also highlight the various literature regarding drug-induced thrombocytopenia and explore the necessary work-up needed to exclude other potential diagnoses. We hope to advocate for multidisciplinary teams to be aware of patients with pulmonary fibrosis on Nintedanib so that this adverse effect can be recognized promptly.
