Title Gallbladder cancer harboring ERBB2 mutation on the primary and metastatic site: A case report.
URL
Abstract Text Bile duct cancer constitutes gallbladder cancer (GBC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICA), and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECA). These three entities show morphological and immunohistochemical resemblance so that it is difficult to differentiate between primary ICA and liver metastasis of GBC, which sometimes becomes a point of discussion in clinical practice. Although these cancers demonstrate significant differences in their mutational landscape, several reports demonstrated shared genomic alteration in paired primary and metastatic site aids in distinguishing metastatic recurrence from second primary cancers.We present a 73-year-old female patient who underwent curative resection for GBC harboring epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ERBB2) activating mutation on next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based genomic testing. One year later, a hepatic lesion was observed on follow-up imaging and she underwent surgical resection for a pathological diagnosis. The histological findings of the hepatic lesion were similar to those of the primary lesion. Additionally, using NGS panel testing, the hepatic lesion was found to have ERBB2 activating mutation, which is the identical mutation detected in the sequencing result of the primary site. ERBB2 activating mutation occurs more frequently in GBC than ICA and ECA. Therefore, in the present case, we think this molecular finding potentiated the diagnosis of the liver mass toward a metastatic recurrence. Additionally, this patient underwent HER2-targeted treatment with lapatinib in combination with capecitabin and obtained clinical benefit.This case illustrated NGS panel usefulness in distinguishing GBC recurrence from second primary cancer and HER2-targeted agent efficacy on ERBB2 mutated GBC.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
