ABSTRACT

The importance of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) as an oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has emerged as a major concern due to a dramatic clinical effect of targeted therapy. As compared with the research for targeted therapy, the study about clinicopathological characteristics for ALK positive NSCLC hasn't been worked enough. Here, we describe a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IVb NSCLC with ALK rearrangement. During evaluating her disease, a metastatic lesion to uterine cervix was found. Although lung cancer metastasis to female genital tract is rare, we also present case series that show a metastasis to the female genital tract in NSCLC with ALK rearrangement. These case series could suggest that ALK positive NSCLC has distinct metastatic pattern.
