Objective:

To present a case of malignant reninoma with pulmonary metastasis and an ATRX mutation, emphasizing the significance of olaparib therapy in achieving local control.

Key Findings:
  • The patient had an ATRX mutation (p.G1964*, VAF 23.73%) associated with malignant reninoma.
  • Olaparib therapy led to the resolution of the renal recurrent tumor but not the pancreatic lesions or pulmonary metastases, highlighting the complexity of treatment.
  • Tumor heterogeneity was evident, necessitating further investigation into combination therapies to improve treatment outcomes.
Interpretation:

Olaparib demonstrates potential for local control in ATRX-mutated malignant reninoma, but varied responses at metastatic sites underscore the complexity of treatment and the need for tailored approaches.

Limitations:
  • The rarity of malignant reninoma limits generalizability of findings.
  • The case highlights the need for further research into combination therapies to address tumor heterogeneity and potential biases in treatment response.
Conclusion:

This case emphasizes the importance of molecular profiling in rare tumors and the potential of targeted therapies like olaparib in precision medicine, guiding treatment decisions.
