Overview
The authors describe the case of a 61-year-old female patient treated with nivolumab for non-small cell lung cancer with a sudden maculopapular exanthema involving the palms and soles. Both the histological examination and the clinical findings confirmed the diagnosis of psoriasis. Discontinuation of nivolumab and treatment with systemic corticosteroids led to regression of the skin findings. The authors report current knowledge on nivolumab-induced psoriasis.
