Sarcoid-like reactions (SLRs) are rare, granulomatous inflammatory reactions to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that can involve any organ but frequently affect the lungs, mediastinal lymph nodes and skin. We present a rare case of an exclusively cutaneous SLR due to pembrolizumab that clinically resembled dermatomyositis. A literature review yielded only 12 previously reported cases of ICI-induced cutaneous SLR without any systemic involvement. Our case highlights the diversity of presentations of cutaneous SLR and emphasises the importance of histological evaluation of new cutaneous eruptions.
肉瘤样反应(SLR)是一种罕见的免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)引起的肉芽肿性炎症反应,可累及任何器官,但常累及肺部、纵隔淋巴结和皮肤。我们报告了一例由 pembrolizumab 引起的罕见的仅累及皮肤的 SLR,其临床表现类似于皮肌炎。文献复习仅发现 12 例先前报道的 ICI 诱导的无任何系统受累的皮肤 SLR 病例。我们的病例突出了皮肤 SLR 表现的多样性,并强调了对新出现的皮肤疹进行组织学评估的重要性。
