Complex mutations are rare in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Limited clinical evidence is available on the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with NSCLC harbouring these uncommon mutations. Here, we reported the case of a complete metabolic response in a patient with advanced NSCLC carrying the uncommon G719A/V769M complex mutation treated with the first-line osimertinib.

We report the case of greater saphenous vein leiomyosarcoma diagnosed in a 48-year-old man with a 4-month history of an inguinal mass.
