Key Words Gastrointestinal stromal tumor; FGFR2 rearrangement; Next-generation sequencing; Imatinib; Case report
Core Tip Herein, we report, for the first time, novel FGFR2 rearrangements FGFR2-CIT/intergenic-FGFR2 and FGFR2-CAMK2G/FGFR2-VCL fusions as potential primary oncogenic drivers in two patients with KIT/PDGFRA wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Both patients achieved sustained remission following adjuvant imatinib, challenging the notion that non-canonical alterations preclude tyrosine kinase inhibitor response. These findings might expand the molecular spectrum of GISTs and suggest that FGFR2 fusions might define a distinct subtype with potential sensitivity to FGFR-targeted therapies, offering new avenues for precision treatment in imatinib-resistant or advanced disease cases.
