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.

Background: 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.

Background: Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and variable immune dysfunction. Among three distinct types of GS, occurring due to different genetic mutations; GS type 1 presents with neurological manifestations, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) generally develops in GS type 2, and GS type 3 primarily exhibits oculocutaneous albinism. HLH, a life-threatening condition with excessive immune activation, may occur secondary to various triggers, including infections, and develop in different tissues, as well as in the testis, similar to Erdheim-Chester disease.
