Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the anterior mediastinum with HER-2 mutation: A rare case report.

We report the case of a 68-year-old male whose Computed Tomography (CT) scan presented a mass (68*62*54 mm) of the right anterior mediastinal and pathologically diagnosis was mucinous adenocarcinoma(MA). The peripheral vessels are surrounded by the big mass in the anterior mediastinum which was associated with multiple metastases, thus we performed palliative chemoradiotherapy and we tried Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) inhibitors based on the Next Generation Sequencing. The patient passed away 16 months after the onset of the disease. In this report, we review the rare case of anterior mediastinum MA as well as perspectives for potential future treatments.
