Abstract
Background: MET and KRAS comutation in the same group of cells of primary tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma is extremely rare; there is no standard of care for patient with metastatic disease.
Case presentation: We report a 42-year-old treatment-naïve Chinese male patient with metastatic tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma harboring a MET p.D1010Y and KRAS p.G12C comutation. The patient responded well to the MET inhibitor crizotinib and MEK inhibitor trametinib combination therapy, but had progression when he discontinued trametinib because of grade III rashes on the face and trunk. With the reintroduction of trametinib with a dose reduction, his metastatic lesions shrank after 2 months of therapy.
Conclusion: MET p.D1010Y and KRAS p.G12C comutation is extremely rare and could happen concurrently in the same group of cells of metastatic tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma; crizotinib combined with trametinib is effective, and the toxicities are manageable.
期刊介绍:
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
