DiscussionThere is a rapidly growing list of indications approved by the Food and Drug Administration for immune checkpoint inhibitors. Cutaneous toxicities are among the most common adverse events that can arise with these immunotherapeutic agents. The most frequently observed toxicities include eczematous dermatitis, lichenoid reactions, and vitiligo. Development of de novo BP has also been reported. 1, 2, 3, 4 Recognizing that patients on immunotherapy can present with occult immunobullous diseases, particularly BP, often without tense blisters, immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay studies can yield valuable information in the workup of atypical clinical presentations, and we routinely perform them.
