A rare case of double primary lung adenocarcinomas with uncommon complex EGFR G719X and S768I mutations and pleomorphic carcinoma.

Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-targeted therapy has emerged as a viable treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with common EGFR mutations. The uncommon G719X and S768I mutations can co-occur as complex mutations in the same tumor. Here we report a case of a 72-year-old male patient with double lung carcinoma, with G719X and S768I complex mutations detected in the right upper lung lobe along with brain metastases. Osimertinib (80 mg/day) was administered as the first-line treatment, and a reduction in the right lobe tumor and brain lesions was achieved. However, the left upper lung lobe mass remained unchanged; histopathological examination via a lobectomy revealed pleomorphic carcinoma. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with multiple primary lung cancers. In conclusion, osimertinib is a viable treatment option for lung cancer with rare EGFR G719X and S768I complex mutations.
