Abstract
Adverse cutaneous reactions associated with the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) pembrolizumab are well documented, yet life-threatening reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are infrequent.1,2 We present a case of pembrolizumab-induced TEN in a patient with metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma who was successfully treated with cyclosporine and systemic corticosteroids.Entities:
