    AbstractAlthough cases of gastrointestinal toxicity of pembrolizumab have been reported, cases of acute immune-mediated colitis accompanied with metachronous esophageal disorders (esophagitis and ulcer) are rare. We herein report a case of acute colitis and metachronous esophageal ulcers due to an immune-related adverse event following concomitant pembrolizumab chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, there have so far been no reports of cases in which both acute immune-mediated colitis and metachronous esophageal ulcers developed. We therefore report the details of this case along with a review of the pertinent literature.
