ABSTRACT

A 54-year-old man diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and receiving combination therapy with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy presented with fever and liver dysfunction. Findings from magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and liver biopsy indicated a diagnosis of pembrolizumab-induced secondary sclerosing cholangitis. Although liver function improved during treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid, bezafibrate, and steroid, it worsened during tapering of the steroid. Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced secondary sclerosing cholangitis is a rare immune-related adverse event that is often difficult to treat.
