    A Case of Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma Presenting with Diffuse Cystic Lesions

    The main causes of diffuse cystic lung diseases include lymphangioleiomyomatosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, lymphoid interstitial pneumonia, light chain deposition disease, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and desquamative interstitial pneumonia. Diffuse cystic lung diseases are rarely caused by a malignant process, which are secondary to metastases from sarcomas and gastrointestinal and gynecologic adenocarcinomas. Here, we present a rare case of invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma associated with progressive diffusion of cystic lesions, revealed by chronic cough and progressive shortness of breath. It is important for clinicians to be aware of this unusual imaging manifestation of lung cancer, to avoid misdiagnoses

    Resected -mutated non-small-cell lung cancers: incidence and outcomes in a European population (GFPC Exerpos Study)

    Background: Few epidemiological data are available on surgically treated Caucasian patients with non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations. The main objective of this study was to describe, in the real-world setting, these patients’ incidence, clinical, and tumoral characteristics. Methods: The participating centers included all consecutive localized non-squamous NSCLC patients undergoing surgery between January 2018 and December 2019 in France. EGFR status was determined retrospectively when not available before surgery. Results: The study includes 1391 no squamous NSCLC patients from 16 centers; EGFR status was determined before surgery in 692 (49.7%) of the cases and conducted as part of the study for 699 (50.3%); 171 (12.3%) were EGFR mutated; median age: 70 (range: 36–88) years; female: 59.6%; never smokers: 75.7%; non-squamous histology 97.7%, programmed death ligand-1 expression 0%/1–49%/⩾50 in 60.5%/25.7%/13.8%, respectively. Surgery was predominantly lobectomy (81%) or segmentectomy (14.9%), with systematic lymph node dissection in 95.9%. Resection completeness was R0 for 97%. Post-surgery staging was as follows: IA: 52%, IB: 16%, IIA: 4%, IIB: 10%, IIIA: 16%, and IIIB: 0.05%; EGFR mutation exon was Del19/exon 21 ( L858R )/20/18 in 37.4%/36.8%/14%, and 6.4% of cases, respectively; 31 (18%) patients received adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy: 93%, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor: 0%, radiotherapy: 20%). After a median follow-up of 31 (95% confidence interval: 29.6–33.1) months, 45 (26%) patients relapsed: 11/45 (24%) locally and 34 (76%) with metastatic progression. Median disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival were not reached and 3-year DFS was 60%. Conclusion: This real-world analysis provides the incidence and outcomes of resected EGFR -mutated NSCLCs in a European patient cohort
