Summary What is known and objective Limited data are available on eosinophilia as a drug adverse event. We describe a case of eosinophilia from lenalidomide therapy. Case description A 50‐year‐old woman received lenalidomide, dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide as POEMS syndrome treatment. Eosinophil count rose during lenalidomide treatment and decreased in the periods off treatment. Naranjo nomogram suggested a probable association between the use of lenalidomide and eosinophilia. What is new and conclusion Eosinophilia has rarely been described with lenalidomide. This case shows a clear temporal relationship between lenalidomide and eosinophilia.
