Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Stevens–Johnson syndrome is a rare complication of ipilimumab therapy. A brief review of literature on the dermatologic adverse effects of ipilimumab is presented. This paper aims to heighten awareness of the significant risk and potential severity of cutaneous adverse effects associated with the use of ipilimumab.
Case Report: A case of 71-year-old woman being treated with ipilimumab for stage IV choroidal melanoma who presented with Stevens–Johnson syndrome 2.5 weeks after her last ipilimumab infusion. Conclusion: Delayed diagnosis of Stevens–Johnsons syndrome in patients receiving ipilimumab therapy can lead to devastating outcomes. | |
