[A Case of Endometrial Metastasis in Lung Adenocarcinoma 
after EGFR-TKIs Treatment Failure and Literature Review].

The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer remain high, making it the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. In women, the predominant histological subtype is lung adenocarcinoma, commonly associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can significantly improve patient prognosis. Metastasis of primary lung cancer to the endometrium is extremely rare and is often misdiagnosed as a primary reproductive system tumor, and its occurrence indicates poor prognosis. This article reports a case of an advanced lung adenocarcinoma patient with EGFR mutation, who developed abnormal vaginal bleeding after EGFR-TKIs treatment failure, and biopsy confirmed endometrial metastasis. A review of similar cases is also presented. .

Abstract

The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer remain high, making it the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. In women, the predominant histological subtype is lung adenocarcinoma, commonly associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can significantly improve patient prognosis. Metastasis of primary lung cancer to the endometrium is extremely rare and is often misdiagnosed as a primary reproductive system tumor, and its occurrence indicates poor prognosis. This article reports a case of an advanced lung adenocarcinoma patient with EGFR mutation, who developed abnormal vaginal bleeding after EGFR-TKIs treatment failure, and biopsy confirmed endometrial metastasis. A review of similar cases is also presented. .
