Pembrolizumab-induced necrotic myositis in a patient with metastatic melanoma
Résumé
Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) monoclonal antibody. ICBs have been associated with a number of adverse effects including rhabdomyolysis and increased CPK levels. Here, we describe a pembrolizumab-induced necrotic myositis in a patient treated for melanoma. Prompt recognition may improve the clinical and functional outcome of patients.
