Résumé

Adverse events (AEs) of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are frequent and mainly due to an overactivity of the immune system leading to excessive inflammatory responses (immune-related AE) that can affect any organ of the body. Beside the most frequent AEs, there are rare AEs whose diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. We report here a singular case of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) associated with chylothorax occurring in a patient who has been treated with adjuvant nivolumab (anti-PD1) for resected AJCC stage IIB primary melanoma.
