| Core Tip |
The co-occurrence of sarcoidosis and echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK)-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rare. Here we present one case of sarcoidosis mimicking metastases in an EML4-ALK positive NSCLC patient. From this case, our experience illustrates that ALK positive lung cancer is likely to spread quickly, therefore, the co-occurrence of sarcoidosis is more easily misdiagnosed as metastatic lung cancer by radiological examination. We suggest that pathological evidence is needed to confirm metastatic disease, especially when some suspected metastatic lesions are negative for malignancy, or when the post-treatment follow-up evaluation results are unexpected. |
