On December 2019, a 73-year-old Caucasian man, smoker presented for concomitant pulmonary and pancreatic tumors showed by computerized tomography. A percutaneous biopsy of the pulmonary mass led to the diagnosis of a poorly differentiated non-small cell non squamous carcinoma with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) overexpression (tumor proportion score = 100%), no staining for ALK and ROS1, and KRAS mutation (c.34G>T). By EUS, two adjacent tumors (20 mm and 13 mm) were showed in the pancreatic body and fine-needle biopsy (FNB) was performed using a 20 gauges ProCore needle [Figure 1]a. Quality of the tissue sampled was adequate for histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining using antibodies (DAKO) including those for cytokeratin (CK7: Positive and CK20: Negative), thyroid transcription factor-1 (negative), ALK (negative), ROS1 (negative), and PD-L1: 100% of tumor cells [Figure 1]c,[Figure 1]d,[Figure 1]e,[Figure 1]f. Moreover, next-generation sequencing showed KRAS mutation (c.34G>T), exactly as the primary lung cancer [Figure 1]b. Following these results, it was concluded that pancreatic masses were metastases from the lung cancer and the patient started an anti-PD-L1 (Pembrolizumab®). | Figure 1: (a) EUS-fine needle biopsy of the two pancreatic masses. Samples issued from this EUS.fine needle biopsy allowed to conduct (b) next generation sequencing showing KRAS mutation (c.34G>T), (c) hematoxylin and eosin staining, (d) positive CK7 staining, (e) negative CK20 staining, (f) strongly positive (100%) for programmed cell death ligand 1 staining (scale bar in all panels = 200 μm)

To conclude, our case report is a good example of the feasibility of a large panel of Histopathological and molecular analyses from EUS-FNB for pancreatic mass[1], in the era of molecularly targeted drugs (immunotherapy for MSI tumors, PARP inhibitors for BRCA mutated tumors, and NTRK-fusion inhibitors).
