Immune checkpoint inhibitors and the development of granulomatous reactions

Sarcoidosis-like reactions can be misdiagnosed as metastatic disease progression and do not appear to be associated with favorable tumor response. Cutaneous findings can facilitate timely and accurate diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary immunotherapy modifications.
