Abstract

Nivolumab is used for patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer resistant to platinum. We report a 76-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, who developed toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) after nivolumab treatment. TEN is a fatal disease, and early treatment of the adverse events are important.
