Sumario:Nivolumab is increasingly used in the treatment of melanoma. However, its use is associated with potentially severe side effects and every organ system can be affected. A case is presented where nivolumab therapy resulted in severe diaphragm dysfunction. With nivolumab's increased use, these types of complications may become more common and every clinician should be alerted to its potential presence when a patient on nivolumab treatment presents with dyspnea. Ultrasound is a readily available method to assess for diaphragm dysfunction. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Schouwenburg JJ. Nivolumab-induced Diaphragm Dysfunction: A Case Report.
