Durvalumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), leading to an antitumor activity, used as consolidation therapy in patients with locally advanced unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Several immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have previously been described in patients following treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of immunotherapy-induced fully reversible bronchiolitis and bronchiectasis, despite the fact that its pathophysiological mechanism has been previously considered to be irreversible.
