Abstract Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can be a rheumatologic complication of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer. A rare and serious manifestation of GCA is scalp necrosis. We report a case of a patient who developed GCA and subsequent scalp necrosis after the initiation of immunotherapy with the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Such advanced cases of GCA may be increasingly recognized in the immunotherapy era of oncology.
