Objective:

To report a case of recurrent endometrioid adenocarcinoma treated with everolimus based on the identification of an NF1 mutation.

Key Findings:
  • The patient had a loss-of-function mutation in the NF1 gene.
  • Everolimus led to complete remission of recurrent endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
  • Treatment was associated with severe dyslipidemia, leading to discontinuation.
Interpretation:

This case illustrates the potential of mutation-driven therapeutic decisions in endometrioid adenocarcinoma, emphasizing the role of comprehensive molecular diagnostics.

Limitations:
  • This is a single case report, limiting generalizability.
  • Long-term effects of everolimus and its toxicity profile require further investigation.
Conclusion:

This case highlights the treatment of everolimus in NF1-deficient recurrent endometrial cancer.
