Nivolumab-Induced Bullous Pemphigoid Managed without Drug Withdrawal

Copyright: © 2020 Indian Journal of Dermatology..

The widespread use of anti-programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) agents has shed light to unusual immune-related adverse effects, especially affecting the skin. We report a case of bullous pemphigoid secondary to nivolumab therapy for metastatic renal carcinoma with a previously unreported complete response to clobetasol ointment alone. The autoimmune blistering disease was successfully treated without oral corticosteroids, and the anti-PD-1 agent could be maintained without recurrence of the skin lesions. Topical therapy remains a good option in selected, mild-to-moderate cases of induced bullous pemphigoid.
