Niraparib, an oral, potent, highly selective poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, has promising clinical benefit for maintenance treatment of patients with ovarian cancer in partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy, especially in patients with  BRCA  mutation. In publicly available niraparib treatment-related adverse events, gastrointestinal disorders and hematological toxicities were most commonly reported with manageable safety profile. Herein, we first describe a severe and never-reported pulmonary embolism (PE) associated with the use of niraparib in a patient with  BRCA  mutation advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer and received anticoagulant therapy after PE. There have been no reports of PE caused by the use of niraparib in patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer; knowledge of the occurrence of PE after the use of niraparib may assist other clinicians in managing this rare but potentially serious toxic effect.
