Abstract

PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitors have revolutionized cancer treatment, especially in lung cancer. Despite their efficacy, a new spectrum of side effects, called immune-related adverse events, may occur and their management could be difficult. Gigantomastia, a rare condition characterized by excessive growth of the breasts, has been associated with some drugs, but no correlation with immunotherapy has ever been reported. Here, we report the case of a possible immune-related gigantomastia.
