Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but aggressive and potentially lethal hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by pathologic immune activation and excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines leading to tissue damage and multisystem organ failure. There is an urgent need for the discovery of novel targets and development of therapeutic strategies to treat this rare but deadly syndrome. Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) mediates T cell-based inflammatory responses, making it a potential actionable target for the treatment of HLH.

In the past decade, the use of immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) has increased across many malignancies, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma as an option for frontline and subsequent lines of therapy. Despite the many therapeutic benefits of ICT, its use is complicated by the potential risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). One rare but potentially life-threatening irAE is hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by an excessive and uncontrolled activation of the immune system. ICI-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (irHLH) is a rare immune-related adverse event with an incidence of 0.03% to 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare complication of multiple myeloma (MM), with limited data available on its incidence, clinical presentation, and treatment. The underlying mechanisms linking MM and HLH remain unclear, including the potential role of MM treatment agents in triggering HLH.
Methods: This case report presents a patient with MM who developed HLH while on lenalidomide maintenance therapy.
