Zusammenfassung: | Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become one of the effective means of solid tumor treatment, among which anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibodies are more maturely applied and can effectively inhibit tumor immune escape, thus enhancing the anti-tumor effect, but it can also lead to a series of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in the process of clinical use. Here, we report a Patient with pancreatic solid pseudopapilloma treated with Sintilimab for the fifteenth cycles who developed chills, fever, and lymph node enlargement. Considering that the patient did not have infection, without history of autoimmune disease, we diagnosed the patient with Sintilimab-induced histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi disease). The symptoms are alleviated after rapid use of glucocorticoids. Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis) with anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody is a rare immune-related adverse events (irAEs). |
