Most abscopal effects are reported as sporadic and unpredictable events following radiotherapy at symptomatic sites. Herein, we report a case in which a planned abscopal effect was induced following deliberate radiotherapy and concurrent systemic immunotherapy. A 53-year-old man with a combined positive score ≥10 developed extensive metastatic bladder cancer after progressing on conventional chemotherapy.

There are many causes of peripheral blood eosinophilia (PBE), including allergic, infectious, rheumatic, and hematologic disorders. Solid tumor cancers, such as lung cancer, can also cause PBE, and although rare, being diagnosed with PBE in this way is associated with a worse prognosis than for lung cancer patients without PBE. Additionally, some cancer patients develop PBE when receiving treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

This case series highlights the complexity of sarcoidosis-like reactions (SLRs) during cancer treatment, specifically in patients receiving immunotherapy or targeted therapies for melanoma. SLRs can either mimic disease progression or present as part of the clinical manifestation, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Our study reviewed the medical records of 31 patients who were candidates for postoperative treatment between June 2022 and June 2024.

Background: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a neuroimmune disorder that presents significant diagnostic challenges. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database can help explore the relationship between drugs and AE, but comprehensive studies are lacking. This study aims to analyze the association between drugs and AE using the FAERS database, providing insights for clinical practice and pharmacovigilance.

IgLON5 autoimmunity is characterized by a diverse range of clinical presentations, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, sleep disturbances, gait instability, and bulbar symptoms, that are usually insidiously progressive. While some individuals with specific HLA haplotypes may be more susceptible to developing anti-IgLON5 disease, this antibody is typically not associated with a paraneoplastic etiology nor known to be induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). We present a clinical and serological workup of a patient who developed symptoms of IgLON5 autoimmunity following treatment with pembrolizumab.
