A case report of high-grade fetal lung adenocarcinoma with KRAS mutation

Abstract

Fetal lung adenocarcinoma (FLAC) is a rare malignant tumor with a relatively good prognosis, and the probability of mutation with KRAS is very low. We report a middle-aged female patient with FLAC with KRAS mutation. The primary lesion was implanted with radioactive iodine 125 particles, and the lesion was smaller than before. However, the metastatic lesions progressed rapidly. After chemotherapy with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin combined with bevacizumab to prevent angiogenesis, the primary lesions continued to shrink, and the metastatic lesions were significantly smaller than before. The patient has been followed up for 5 months and is generally in good condition. We report a case of H-FLAC with KRAS mutation, and its development and prognosis seem to be significantly abnormal from that of ordinary H-FLAC. It also provides a possible effective treatment for unresectable H-FLAC, but further research is needed.
