Prolonged use of T-DM1 has been shown to cause rare adverse effects, such as hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT)-like symptoms and vascular malformation. The authors present a case of HHT-like symptoms and new brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the setting of T-DM1 therapy for breast cancer. Observation: A 77-year-old lady with a background of metastatic breast cancer who developed HHT-like mucocutaneous clinical manifestation during treatment with T-DM1, which regressed at nine months following cessation of T-DM1. She was found to have new brain AVMs four years after commencement of T-DM1 therapy in the absence of other risk factors for AVM. Conclusion: Given the increasing use of T-DM1 for metastatic breast cancer, it is imperative for clinicians to be aware of the potential development of brain AVM whilst on T-DM1 via HHT linkage.","PeriodicalId":252378,"journal":{"name":"Insights of Neuro Oncology","volume":"118 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139135366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
