Abstract
Nivolumab, a fully human immunoglobulin G4 anti-programmed cell death 1 antibody, provides a novel therapy option for patients with metastatic cancers. Immunotherapy agents have been associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which may be detected on 18F-FDG PET/CT. Cutaneous toxicities are one of the most common irAEs in the form of maculopapular rash (eczema-like spongiotic dermatitis) and pruritus. These irAEs may lead to false-positive findings on PET/CT done during the treatment. One should be aware of the potential irAEs while interpreting PET/CT to avoid misinterpretation.
