Background: The study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and computed tomography (CT) findings of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients to distinguish between ALK gene rearrangement, EGFR mutation, and non-ALK/EGFR (no genetic abnormalities).
Methods: We enrolled 201 patients with primary NSCLC who had undergone molecular testing for both ALK gene rearrangement and EGFR mutation. The clinical features and CT findings of the main lesion and associated pulmonary abnormalities were investigated.
Article Synopsis
- A 60-year-old woman was hospitalized after experiencing a high fever and abnormal behavior for a week.
- Cerebrospinal fluid analysis indicated an inflammatory response, and imaging revealed brain abnormalities consistent with herpes simplex encephalitis.
- After receiving treatment with acyclovir and steroids, the patient improved but later showed symptoms of hypersomnia linked to low orexin levels in her CSF.
A 68-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of sudden onset of involuntary movements, similar to those associated with chorea, of the right side of the body and for further evaluation of thrombocythemia. She had no family history of chorea. Neurological findings did not show any abnormality except for chorea of the right side.
