Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPis), such as pembrolizumab (Keytruda®), are associated with the development of several immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Thyroid dysfunction is a common endocrine irAE associated with pembrolizumab; however, Graves' disease induced by pembrolizumab is extremely rare. Few cases of this condition have been reported in the literature. Here, we report the case of a 50-year-old patient who presented with thyrotoxicosis that was attributed to Graves' disease secondary to pembrolizumab therapy.
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICPis),如帕博利珠单抗(可瑞达®),与多种免疫相关不良事件(irAEs)的发生有关。甲状腺功能障碍是与帕博利珠单抗相关的常见内分泌irAE;然而,帕博利珠单抗诱发的格雷夫斯病极为罕见。文献中报道的此类病例很少。在此,我们报告一例50岁患者,其出现甲状腺毒症,归因于帕博利珠单抗治疗继发的格雷夫斯病。
