ABSTRACT

A 78-year-old man had an acromegalic face since 2000. He visited his primary care doctor in 2011 with complaints of back pain and numbness in his lower right extremity. Lung cancer was suggested by lumbar MRI revealing a metastatic bone tumor and a chest computed tomography scan revealing a tumor mass in his left lower lobe. A diagnosis of epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma (cT2bN2M1b, stage IV) and acromegaly was made at our hospital. Octreotide acetate was prescribed along with EGFR-TKIs after 2 months of initial treatment. The lung tumor size decreased up to 32% after initiating therapy, and progression-free survival lasted for 11 months after starting initial treatment.
