Lay abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors are used with increasing frequency in cancer therapy. New side effects associated with these drugs have been identified. Air accumulation between the pleural membranes, which envelop the lungs and protect them in the ventilation function, without trauma may occur after using these drugs. We present here two cases that were treated with these drugs and developed this side effect. Patients with newly developed shortness of breath during this treatment should be careful about side effects such as this.
