A person with a type of lung cancer called non-small-cell lung cancer might get treated with a special drug called nivolumab. This drug helps the body's immune system fight the cancer. However, even though these new drugs work well, they can sometimes cause side effects. Some of these side effects are very rare and hard to predict. In one case, a patient who took nivolumab developed a condition called gigantomastia. This means their breasts became unusually large. The doctors checked for other possible causes, but couldn't find any. Gigantomastia is already a very rare condition by itself. What's even more interesting is that nobody has ever reported gigantomastia as a side effect of immunological therapies before. Researchers still don't know why it happened in this case. This episode is worth mentioning because it's a very unusual and unique case.
