Lynch syndrome is caused by inherited mutations in genes responsible for DNA mismatch repair, with resultant increase in lifetime risk of colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, stomach, urinary, pancreatic, and CNS malignancies. Here, we present a patient with a rare coexistence of both <i>BRCA2</i> and <i>PSM2</i> mutation in the setting of metastatic pancreatic and prostate cancer. <b>Case Presentation:</b> The patient was initially diagnosed with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma at the age of 57, when a screening PSA of 22.9 warranted biopsy and staging scans revealed involvement of the aortocaval lymph node. Treatment with androgen deprivation therapy with the addition of abiraterone and prednisone was initiated. Additionally, a PET scan showed a hypermetabolic isolated lung nodule, which upon wedge resection showed Stage I lung cancer. Three years later, a pancreatic mass and multiple liver lesions were found on a surveillance scan. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and germline testing revealed the coexistence of <i>BRCA2</i> and <i>PMS2</i> mutations. The patient completed four cycles of cisplatin and gemcitabine, followed by the initiation of olaparib as per the POLE study. About 12 months after the diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic cancer and 4 years after the diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer, the patient has excellent control of the disease with performance status ECOG 0 and minimal side effects from maintenance therapy. <b>Conclusion:</b> This case presents a unique combination of two coexistent inherited syndromes with the approximate combined incidence of 1:357,000. The presence of two advanced malignancies in our patient underlines the cumulative effects of combined deficiency in the DNA repair pathway and possibly an even higher lifetime risk of cancer. This may explain the presence of lung cancer with a minimal smoking history of less than 10 pack years. PARP inhibitors may be effective in controlling metastatic pancreatic cancer, and thus, genetic counseling is important for this patient and his family members, who will need appropriate cancer screening. The probability of carrying two pathogenic variants may be expected to increase as a result of next-generation sequencing and germline testing.</p>","PeriodicalId":9636,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"5879510"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12390415/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144944153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lung adenocarcinoma, the most common subtype, can mimic benign conditions like pneumonia, lung abscess, and interstitial lung disease due to its varied radiologic presentations and associated inflammation and fibrosis. This similarity can delay diagnosis, emphasizing the need for imaging and histopathological confirmation. <b>Case Presentation:</b> A 58-year-old male with a significant smoking history, hypertension, and GERD presented with a 5-month history of episodic epigastric pain, exacerbated by heavy meals, along with progressive respiratory symptoms, including shortness of breath, dry cough, and a 20-kg weight loss over 3 months. Upper endoscopy revealed gastric ulcers, a hiatal hernia, esophageal mucosal changes consistent with GERD, and <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection on biopsy, which was treated with triple therapy, resolving his gastrointestinal symptoms. However, his respiratory symptoms worsened, with increased dyspnea at rest, pleuritic chest pain, and a persistent cough. Chest CT showed multiple cavitating lung nodules, architectural distortion predominantly in the upper lobes, a large irregular lesion in the right lower lobe, and enlarged paratracheal, subcarinal, and distal paraesophageal lymph nodes. The patient was transferred to our facility for further evaluation. Whole-body CT revealed widespread bilateral cavitary lesions, lymphadenopathy, and a small hiatal hernia. Bronchoscopy with biopsy confirmed metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, with histopathology showing moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, positive for TTF-1 and Napsin A and negative for PAX8. Cytology from bronchoalveolar lavage also confirmed malignancy, and PD-L1 immunostaining showed weak positivity in 15%-20% of tumor cells. The patient was diagnosed with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma and initiated on carboplatin and pemetrexed chemotherapy. Molecular testing was planned, and he was discharged for follow-up care. <b>Conclusion:</b> Our case of a 58-year-old male with cavitating lung nodules, significant weight loss, and progressive respiratory symptoms, initially misattributed to gastrointestinal disease, highlights the diagnostic complexity of lung adenocarcinoma.

The discovery of immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionised cancer therapy by improving prognosis in numerous different cancer types. Unfortunately, immune-related adverse events frequently arise, particularly with dual checkpoint inhibition. We present a case of severe hypercalcemia in a 65-year-old woman undergoing treatment for metastasised malignant melanoma. Eleven weeks after initiating ipilimumab-nivolumab, the patient developed severe hypercalcemia, along with inflammation and hepatitis. This was initially presumed to be due to hypercalcemia of malignancy, given the clinical examination, imaging findings and laboratory values potentially consistent with progressive disease. The hypercalcemia responded well to bisphosphonates, intravenous saline and methylprednisolone. Interestingly, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) performed shortly after hospital discharge showed a complete metabolic remission, thereby making hypercalcemia of malignancy unlikely. Review of her medical history, imaging and laboratory revealed several features consistent with a sarcoid-like reaction. We hypothesise that this reaction led to elevated 1-alpha hydroxylase, thereby facilitating calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia. In this report, we summarise previously published case reports on immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced hypercalcemia and discuss the various mechanisms that cause hypercalcemia in this rare immune-related adverse event. Immune checkpoint inhibitors can induce production of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), calcitriol, and may cause hypocortisolaemia, all of which can disrupt calcium homeostasis. Through this case, we contribute to the growing body of evidence regarding hypercalcemia as an immune-related adverse event and aim to raise awareness among clinicians of this potential complication. Early recognition is critical for this life-threatening condition, as it can be refractory to conventional therapies and may necessitate corticosteroid therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":9636,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"8600200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12271711/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144673998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
