- Abstract
Background: We report two cases in which severe skin disorders developed during sorafenib treatment in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who had previously received nivolumab. Case Report: Case 1: A 50- year-old man with RCC received nivolumab as the fifth-line therapy followed by sorafenib as the sixth-line therapy. On day 15 of sorafenib administration, the patient was hospitalized with systemic erythema multiforme, acne-like skin rash, and hand-foot syndrome. Case 2: A 40-year-old man with RCC received nivolumab as the second-line therapy followed by sorafenib as the fifth-line treatment. On day 12 of sorafenib administration, the patient was hospitalized with an acne-like skin rash and hand-foot syndrome. The skin disorders in the two cases improved within 2-3 weeks after sorafenib discontinuation and the start of treatment with topical and oral steroids. Conclusion: When using sorafenib in patients previously treated with nivolumab, close attention should be paid to the onset of serious skin disorders.
