Abstract
Lung sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare tumor. We report a rare case of pancreatic metastasis in a 76-year-old man with lung sarcomatoid carcinoma. Right upper lobectomy was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma with a MET exon 14 skipping mutation. A biopsy of the pancreatic lesion subsequently revealed pancreatic metastasis. A MET exon 14 skipping mutation was confirmed, and the patient was treated with a MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor and maintained a complete response for 2 years. Lung sarcomatoid carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the pancreas and can be adequately treated with a MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
肺肉瘤样癌是一种罕见肿瘤。我们报告了一例罕见的胰腺转移病例,患者是一名 76 岁的男性,患有肺肉瘤样癌。患者接受了右上肺叶切除术,被诊断为肺肉瘤样癌,并伴有 MET 第 14 号外显子跳越突变。随后进行的胰腺病灶活检发现了胰腺转移。患者接受了 MET 酪氨酸激酶抑制剂治疗,并在两年内保持了完全应答。肺肉瘤样癌很少转移到胰腺,使用MET酪氨酸激酶抑制剂就能得到充分治疗。
