Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are increasingly the mainstay of oncology treatment. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) from ICI therapy differ from cytotoxic adverse events. Cutaneous irAEs are one of the most common irAEs and require careful attention to optimize the quality of life for oncology patients. Patient and Methods: These are two cases of patients with advanced solid-tumour malignancies treated with PD-1 inhibitor therapy. Results: Both patients developed multiple pruritic hyperkeratotic lesions, which were initially diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma from skin biopsies. The presentation as squamous cell carcinoma was atypical and, upon further pathology review, the lesions were more in keeping with a lichenoid immune reaction stemming from the immune checkpoint blockade. With the use of oral or topical steroids and immunomodulators, the lesions resolved. Conclusions: These cases emphasize that patients on PD-1 inhibitor therapy who develop lesions resembling squamous cell carcinoma on initial pathology may require an additional pathology review to assess for immune-mediated reactions, allowing appropriate immunosuppressive therapy to be initiated.
