Development of Halo Nevi in a Lung Cancer Patient: A Novel Immune-Related Cutaneous Event from Atezolizumab.

We report a case of immunotherapy-induced leukoderma presenting as halo nevi in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with atezolizumab, a programmed cell death ligand (PD-L1) antibody. Immunotherapy-induced vitiligo in metastatic melanoma patients may be associated with improved survival, but it remains to be determined whether its occurrence in non-melanoma cancers has the same prognostic significance. <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2017;16(10):1047-1049.</em></p>.
