However, EGFR mutations and ROS1 fusions are generally mutually exclusive in NSCLC, leading to a negligible probability of their co-occurrence. Consequently, clinical data and treatment strategies for their simultaneous presence are remarkably scarce. This report details the first recorded case of a sarcomatoid, poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma harboring both a ROS1 fusion and an EGFR mutation, alongside ARID1A and NFKBIA gene mutations. Moreover, this case study encompasses a review of instances featuring concurrent ROS1 and EGFR mutations. The identified genetic alterations in ROS1, EGFR, ARID1A, and NFKBIA are pivotal in the etiology of NSCLC. These mutations significantly influence disease progression and are essential for the development of personalized therapeutic approaches. Recognizing the unique genetic profiles in patients permits healthcare providers to devise customized treatment regimens that target these specific mutations, thereby enhancing patient outcomes in NSCLC.展开更多
