Mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14-skipping mutation (METex14) is rare in pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinomas (IMAs), and the clinical impact of MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) remains unknown. We herein report a 75-year-old woman with IMA harboring METex14 who was treated with the MET-TKI tepotinib. The lung tumor regressed over six months; however, the patient ultimately died of...
