Metastatic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor in the small mesentery: case report
SMARCA4-UT is an exceedingly rare and aggressive undifferentiated tumor. This case highlights a presentation of SMARCA4-UT with abdominal pain and distention as initial symptoms. Clinicians should consider SMARCA4-UT in middle-aged or elderly male patients with a history of smoking who present with large masses. Comprehensive chest imaging is essential to exclude the thoracic primary disease in such cases.
