Abstract
Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) that allows increased survival and, occasionally, complete remission, in the treatment of metastatic melanoma. The most frequent adverse effects are attributed to dysimmunity. We report the case of a female patient who developed orbital myositis during treatment with ipilimumab.
