The granulomatous pulmonary nodules induced by tislelizumab in advanced squamous NSCLC: a case report with challenging differential diagnosis
This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of ICI-induced granulomatous lung lesions, their steroid responsiveness, and the feasibility of ICIs rechallenge under close monitoring. Pathological confirmation is crucial for the diagnosis, and could avoid unnecessary anti-infective therapy.
