A case of aseptic meningitis in a cetuximab-experienced patient with metastatic colon cancer.

Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor and is used in the treatment of head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. This case report describes a rare (<1% incidence) side effect of cetuximab administration: aseptic meningitis. We report a case which is, to our knowledge, the only case at the time of submission of this manuscript of aseptic meningitis in a patient being treated for metastatic colon cancer who was not cetuximab-naïve.
