Bullous lichen planus and anti-programmed cell death-1 therapy: Case report and literature review.
DISCUSSION: Bullous lichen planus has been reported only rarely in the context of nivolumab therapy. The timeline for development of cutaneous adverse reactions under anti-PD1 immunotherapy may last weeks or months and regular monitoring is required. Withdrawal of immunotherapy should only be considered where the outcome under systemic corticosteroids is unfavourable.
