Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising almost exclusively in the minor salivary glands. PLGA occurs primarily in the oral cavity, especially in the palate, followed by the oral mucosa and upper lip [1,2]. Conditions involving these locations are often presented at dermatological clinics. Therefore, dermatologists should consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of the oral cavity tumors. We present a case of PLGA in the upper lip.
Nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody against the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), has shown promising results in patients with advanced malignancies, including melanoma, lung cancer, and renal cancer. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have been reported, including both organ-specific toxicities and skin toxicities. Herein, we report a case of predominantly palmoplantar psoriasis with severe nail involvement, psoriatic arthritis, and autoimmune hypothyroidism after receiving nivolumab treatment for lung cancer. We also summarize the case reports that have been published previously. The knowledge of these irAEs in patients undergoing anti-PD1 therapy is important since it will enable earlier recognition and appropriate management, with the aim of maintaining effective dose without disruption.
