Abstract

We present the clinical case of a patient diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) under treatment with Nivolumab. The patient develops a severe dermatological condition, which is why a biopsy of one of the lesions is performed, the diagnosis being: “Cutaneous Drug Reactions†. We review the literature, discuss the mechanisms by which these clinical presentations can occur and present this patient as a contribution to the medical literature on the adverse effects by this molecule.
