Abstract

Immunotherapy is becoming one of today's most important systemic treatments in oncology after demonstrating its efficacy and acceptable tolerance in many types of cancer.[1] However, with increasing patient exposition, new side effects appear, including cutaneous ones. This granulomatous reaction, as triggers, could induce widespread reactions in other black tattoos, called a "rush phenomenon".[5] The granulomatous reactions related to immunotherapy, whether cutaneous or systemic, correspond to a real entity that is still poorly understood. 5 Sepehri M, Hutton Carlsen K, Serup J.
