Anti-programmed cell death-1 (anti-PD-1) antibodies have revolutionized advanced cancer therapy. Anti-PD-1 therapy is responsible for immune-related adverse events, with frequent endocrine manifestations, including acute-onset type 1 diabetes. Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL) is a rare disease, believed to be immune mediated, characterized by loss of adipose tissue and insulin resistance-associated complications.
We describe the first reported case of AGL induced by immune checkpoint therapy.
A 62-year-old woman with metastatic melanoma treated with nivolumab was referred for major hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. She had presented with a rapidly progressive generalized loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Diabetes was associated with severe insulin resistance and undetectable plasma leptin. Subcutaneous biopsy revealed atrophic adipose tissue infiltrated with cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes and fibrosis.
AGL is an additional immune-related adverse event of anti-PD-1 therapy that leads to severe insulin resistance-associated complications.
抗程序性细胞死亡蛋白-1(抗 PD-1)抗体彻底改变了晚期癌症的治疗方法。抗 PD-1 治疗会引起免疫相关不良反应,常表现为内分泌系统症状,包括急性发作 1 型糖尿病。获得性全身性脂肪营养不良(AGL)是一种罕见疾病,被认为与免疫有关,其特征是脂肪组织丧失和与胰岛素抵抗相关的并发症。
我们描述了首例由免疫检查点治疗引起的 AGL 病例。
一名 62 岁的转移性黑色素瘤女性患者接受了 nivolumab 治疗,因严重高血糖、高三酰甘油血症和非酒精性脂肪性肝炎而就诊。她迅速出现全身皮下脂肪丧失。糖尿病与严重胰岛素抵抗和不可检测的血浆瘦素有关。皮下活检显示脂肪组织萎缩,浸润着细胞毒性 CD8 T 淋巴细胞和纤维化。
AGL 是抗 PD-1 治疗的另一种免疫相关不良反应,可导致严重的与胰岛素抵抗相关的并发症。
