Abstract
Mixed morphology lung tumors are rare; this is the second report of a combined NSCLC and atypical carcinoid tumor. Next generation sequencing was performed on both histologically distinct patterns which identified that both components harbored a BRAF p.V600E mutation. Molecular studies inform our knowledge of the biology and aid in treatment decisions for mixed morphology lung cancers.
