Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the management of various advanced-stage malignancies. The utilization of ICIs can be limited by their immune-related adverse events such as diarrhea and enterocolitis. Isolated ICI-induced enteritis is an uncommon presentation compared with ICI-induced colitis/enterocolitis. ICI withdrawal and systemic corticosteroids can lead to resolution of enterocolitis in up to 70% of patients. We present a rare case of isolated ICI-induced enteritis refractory to high-dose systemic corticosteroids and responsive to a course of open-capsule budesonide only.
