Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is considered to be an adverse effect of treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Methodology & results: Our case was a 75-year-old woman diagnosed with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. After radical chemoradiotherapy was completed, durvalumab was initiated as a consolidation therapy. However, since chest CT showed appearances of infiltration shadows scattered in the periphery of the lungs after five doses of immunotherapy, duruvalumab was discontinued. 6 weeks later, the patient was aware of intermittent fever. Chest CT scan showed the appearance of a tree-in-bud pattern in the right lung. Acid-fast bacilli stain of sputum was positive and the PCR test was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Conclusion: Duruvalumab as PD-L1 blockade may activate TB.

Metastases from a variety of malignant tumors can involve the ureters, but ureteral involvement by lung cancer is extremely rare and usually described at autopsy. We report a rare case of a 76-year-old man who presented with a three-month history of right flank dullness and was noted to have a nonhomogeneous retroperitoneal mass with hydronephrosis of the right kidney on computed tomography of the abdomen. Computed tomography of the thorax showed a nodule in the lower lobe, measuring3×2 cm, in the right lung. After excluding the presence of other primary tumors and metastases, we reached a final diagnosis of solitary retroperitoneal metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the lung. Although rare, in patients of non-small cell lung cancer, presence of hydronephrosis should alert the physician to the possibility of metastasis.
