Secondary Mutations of the EGFR Gene That Confer Resistance to Mobocertinib in EGFR Exon 20 Insertion.

Introduction: Approximately 10% of mutations in the EGFR gene in NSCLC are in-frame insertions in exon 20 (X20ins). These tumors usually do not respond to conventional EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Several novel EGFR TKIs active for X20ins are in clinical development, including mobocertinib, which was recently approved by the U.

[Palmar Hyperhidrosis Associated with the Azygos Lobe].

A 66-year-old man visited our department because of palmar hyperhidrosis. Computed tomography had revealed division of the right upper lobe by a fissure and the azygos vein, and the presence of an azygos lobe had been diagnosed. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (resection of T3 ganglion) was performed.
