- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 67-year-old man with positive melanoma and metastases to the liver, brain and lung treated with nivolumab. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with the complaints of pruritic, bullous eruption. The man was performed with direct immunofluorescence and biopsy which revealed the subepidermal bullous dermatosis. The patient was treated using therapeutic plasma exchange in combination with rituximab.
