Rearrangement of the FGFR2 gene, identified in primary PA and MECA ex PA samples of both our patients, may be responsible for the malignant transformation and the disease progression. Further studies are encouraged to confirm the relevance of the findings. The therapy option with FGFR2 inhibitors may be considered in advanced or metastatic MECA ex PA with confirmed FGFR2 mutations.
