Abstract
Immunotherapy is gaining significance in the management of oncological disease. It has demonstrated high levels of efficacy, though it also has hitherto unknown side effects, such as colitis. We present the first case of immune checkpoint inhibitor colitis (nivolumab+ipilimumab) refractory to corticoids treated in our hospital.
