Lupus-like cutaneous reaction following pembrolizumab: an immune-related adverse event associated with anti-PD-1 therapy

PD-1 (programmed cell death-1) inhibitors, used to treat metastatic melanoma and other malignancies, are associated with development of immune-related adverse events in the skin. Such reactions include morbilliform eruptions, vitiligo, alopecia areata, and bullous pemphigoid. In this report, we describe a patient who developed a lupus-like cutaneous reaction in the setting of pembrolizumab therapy for metastatic melanoma, adding to the spectrum of reactions which may be observed in association with PD-1 inhibitor therapy.
