The understanding of pembrolizumab-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) /toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) primarily derives from case reports, leaving specific clinical features largely unknown. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics associated with pembrolizumab-induced SJS/TEN and to encourage the judicious use of pembrolizumab. Retrieve reports on pembrolizumab induced SJS/TEN before September 30, 2024 for retrospective analysis.

The patient developed expressive aphasia three days after starting pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy, prompting comprehensive evaluations that ruled out infectious or metastatic causes. A diagnosis of pembrolizumab-associated autoimmune encephalitis was established following a lumbar puncture and MRI.

Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL) is a rare complication of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and is associated with immune-mediated loss of adipose tissue, peripheral resistance to insulin, and serious metabolic complications. Here we report a new case of ICI-induced AGL and provide an updated literature review of published cases. We report a 39-year-old female patient treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab for stage IIIC nevoid melanoma with ICI-induced AGL.
