Endocrine manifestations of lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation mimicking tuberculosis: A case report and literature review

This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by atypical presentations of lung cancer, which can masquerade as infectious diseases like TB. The presence of pituitary metastasis further complicates the clinical picture, emphasizing the importance of considering rare metastatic sites in the differential diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Timely recognition and appropriate management are crucial for optimizing outcomes in such complex cases, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach in oncological and endocrine care.

Abstract

This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by atypical presentations of lung cancer, which can masquerade as infectious diseases like TB. The presence of pituitary metastasis further complicates the clinical picture, emphasizing the importance of considering rare metastatic sites in the differential diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Timely recognition and appropriate management are crucial for optimizing outcomes in such complex cases, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach in oncological and endocrine care.
