Anlotinib improved the reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation induced by camrelizumab: a case report.

Background: Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) or its ligand PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, opening a new era of tumor immunotherapy, and they have significantly improved the overall survival of many patients with advanced solid tumors. However, in addition to its effectiveness, we should also pay attention to its adverse effects. The instructions of the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab clearly indicate that reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP) is the most common adverse reaction; it is common for many immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Here we describe a case that anlotinib improved RCCEP induced by anti-PD-1 blockade camrelizumab with some focus on further management of this symptoms. Case Description: A 57-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the upper lobe of the left lung, and with mediastinal lymphocyte and liver metastasis, received the fifth cycle of chemotherapy and immunotherapy with camrelizumab (200 mg, every 3 weeks). Four days after treatment with camrelizumab, the patient's face, head, neck, and chest skin had multiple scattered bright red round papules, which were diagnosed as RCCEP. The patient was treated with oral anlotinib (8 mg, once a day). After 5 days of treatment, the symptoms of RCCEP gradually eased, and the patient was discharged. Conclusions: In conclusion, we have reported a case of RCCEP induced by anti-PD-1 blockade camrelizumab. The patient was given oral anlotinib to relieve the symptoms of RCCEP. Suggesting that anlotinib could be a potential management to reduce the adverse reactions who are treated with camrelizumab. The risk for RCCEP should always be kept in mind during camrelizumab treatment.

Different Imaging Features of Retroperitoneal Unicentric Castleman's Disease: A Case Report.

Castleman's disease is a rare disease which is difficult to diagnose early due to its lack of specific manifestations, and also is easily confused with lymphoma or other solid tumors. Castleman's disease can occur in any part of the body containing lymph nodes and is most common in the chest, followed by the neck, abdomen, and axillae. A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a tumor near the adrenal gland found by computed tomography. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed that the retroperitoneal tumor may be a malignant disease. However, the pathological diagnosis after laparoscopic resection was retroperitoneal Castleman's disease, hyaline vascular type.
