TL;DR: The first case of a patient with metastatic cKIT mutated acral melanoma, brain metastasis, and pre-existing severe autoimmune bullous pemphigoid with stable and asymptomatic disease 10 months after treatment with pembrolizumab is described, suggesting that pembrology may confer more benefit than risk even in patients with known severe autoimmune conditions who require intermittent systemic immunosuppression.
