Lung squamous cell carcinoma with hemoptysis after vaccination with tozinameran (BNT162b2, Pfizer‐BioNTech)
Abstract A 66‐year‐old man with squamous cell carcinoma had been receiving chemoradiation therapy after stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases. Atezolizumab was initiated as second‐line therapy, after which the patient became progression‐ and recurrence‐free. Four days after his second dose...

Atezolizumab was initiated as second‐line therapy, after which the patient became progression‐ and recurrence‐free.

Bronchoscopy revealed active bleeding from the left lingual tracheal branch. The patient was intubated and admitted to the intensive care unit because of increased bleeding.
