We report two cases of non-smoker patients diagnosed with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma and bearing germinal TP53 gene mutation, also known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS).

Finally, we provide an analysis of discerning epidemiological data obtained from the IARC database and from all the published cases of EGFR-mutated lung cancer in TP53 germline mutation carriers.
