局所再発に対して投与したペムブロリズマブにより特発性血小板減少性紫斑病を発症した浸潤性膀胱癌の1例

Abstract

A man in his 70s visited our hospital for gross hematuria. He was diagnosed with invasive urothelial carcinoma (cT3N2M0) and underwent total cystectomy and ileum conduit construction after three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Eight months after the operation, the disease reoccurred in the pelvic lesion. He received pembrolizumab therapy but developed idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) immediately before the ninth course of administration; and, treatment was discontinued. Recovery of symptoms and normalization of blood test data were achieved 3.5months after starting steroid treatment. Reduction of recurrent disease has been maintained for 2 years.
