- W2894956230 abstract "SESSION TITLE: Critical Care 2 SESSION TYPE: Med Student/Res Case Rep Postr PRESENTED ON: 10/09/2018 01:15 PM - 02:15 PM INTRODUCTION: Lymphocytic or autoimmune hypophysitis is a rare, potentially fatal complication of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in cancer treatment. Early recognition is essential to proper management of affected patients. We present a case of a 65-year-old male undergoing adjuvant melanoma treatment with ipilimumab, hospitalized for suspected sepsis and ultimately diagnosed with immune-mediated hypophysitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old male with stage IIIC malignant melanoma of the scalp treated with adjuvant ipilimumab presented to the emergency department with altered mental status, fever of 103.1F, heart rate 102 bpm, and a known MRSA-infected scalp wound. Patient was admitted under sepsis criteria for management with IV fluids and antibiotics. Work-up revealed a two week history of progressive fatigue, anorexia, and acute renal injury. Due to concern for immune mediated hypophysitis high dose corticosteroid therapy was initiated with methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg in divided doses. MRI of the brain demonstrated enlargement of the anterior pituitary gland. TSH was low at 0.05 uIU/ml; free thyroxine was 0.5 ng/dL, warranting initiation of levothyroxine. Patient's mental status returned to baseline within 12 hours of receiving corticosteroid therapy. Near complete resolution of symptoms was achieved within 3 days and he was discharged home on a steroid taper. DISCUSSION: Immune checkpoint inhibitors including ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab treat many different cancers by mobilizing the immune system against malignant tumor cells. Autoimmune complications include type I diabetes, pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, nephritis, and pancreatitis. Ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4, promotes the cytotoxic activity of T-lymphocytes. It is indicated for treatment of metastatic melanoma and adjuvant treatment of stage III malignant melanoma. Autoimmune hypophysitis is a rare, potentially fatal complication that must be recognized and corrected promptly. Incidence is highest with ipilimumab, occurring in 3.2% of patients, who typically present with fatigue and headache. Other symptoms may include anorexia, encephalopathy, and temperature dysregulation. Pituitary enlargement on MRI and low levels of pituitary hormones are diagnostic. Mainstays of therapy are hormone replacement and methylprednisolone 1-2 mg/kg IV in divided doses until improvement is achieved, followed by steroid taper. Most patients regain full pituitary function. Multiple autoimmune complications of checkpoint inhibitors can develop concurrently with hypophysitis. CONCLUSIONS: Use of immunotherapy is increasing in frequency as indications expand. Autoimmune hypophysitis is one potentially life-threatening complication of therapy which can present with physiologic signs of sepsis. Physicians in both inpatient and outpatient settings must maintain a low threshold of suspicion. Reference #1: Romualdo Barroso-Sousa, William T. Barry, Ana C. Garrido-Castro, F.
