The study presented a case of lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with de novo c-Met amplification. Four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were administered and partial response was achieved. Surgery was performed and the surgical margin was positive. Pathological diagnosis was lung SCC with c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) (+, 5%) and c-Met (++, 20%). The ROS1 rearrangement and c-Met amplification were detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization, and the result showed c-Met amplification positive and ROS1 negative. Four weeks after surgery, thoracic computed tomography scan showed a relapse of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. After three days, the patient died of hemoptysis.

The coexistence of lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is uncommon in young patients. We report a case of 22-year-old man who presented with a one-month history of chest pain, cough, slight haemoptysis and weight loss. Following two acid fast bacilli positive sputum samples, a diagnosis of TB was concluded. However, his response to anti-TB therapy was inadequate. A CT scan and further laboratory tests assisted the final diagnosis as c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) rearranged lung adenocarcinoma and PTB. Despite severe comorbidities, the patient achieved clinical remission following treatment with the anti-cancer drug, crizotinib and anti- TB therapy. Clinicians should be aware that this comorbidity can occur in all age groups and the clinical and radiological symptoms of the two diseases are similar.
