| Abstract: |
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are commonly utilized medications for the treatment of immune mediated conditions. Based on recent data from most registries there is no conclusive evidence for an increased risk of solid tumours or lymphoproliferative disease linked with biologic therapy, but on-going vigilance is required. We present a case of ankylosing spondylitis with extraarticular manifestations with a premalignant condition treated with TNF inhibitors, which developed a basal cell cancer, was switched on secukinumab and back again on antiTNF due to severe panuveitis.
