International audience. As shown by Kostine et al,1 and recently underlined by Ceccarelli et al,2 rheumatic inflammatory disorders induced by anticancer therapy are becoming a major concern for rheumatologists at the era of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Beyond inflammatory arthritis, which may concern 10%–20% of patients, myositis represents a rare (<1%) but potentially life-threatening event. We thus aimed at investigating the risk of ICI-related myositis in real-life setting using VigiBase, the WHO’s pharmacovigilance database.
