Abstract
An 81 year old male with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with 3-weekly atezolizumab and bevacizumab developed a pulmonary sarcoid-like reaction (SLR) after 5 months. Atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, was identified as the likely culprit. He was treated with prednisolone, resulting in improvement, and was successfully rechallenged with both atezolizumab and bevacizumab.
