Deskripsi
As immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs are being used in the treatment of some cancers, unusual adverse events are being reported, labeled as immune-related adverse events. Various endocrinopathies related to immune-related adverse events have been described, among which hypoparathyroidism is exceedingly rare. We report a case of hypoparathyroidism induced by immune checkpoint drugs, highlighting the need for awareness of this emerging complication.
