ALCL primarily involving gastrointestinal (GI) tract is rare. In this manuscript, we describe a case of primary esophageal ALK1 positive-ALCL (null phenotype) in a young female, who presented with fleshy mucosal lesion in the lower third of the esophagus and present a systematic review of 35 cases of GI-ALCL reported in the English literature over the past 28 years (1990-2018) with regard to the clinicopathological characteristics, therapy, and outcome.

ALK (Anaplastic lymphoma kinase) • ALK1 (Activin A Receptor Like Type 1)
Almost perfect agreement was reached for detecting actionable EGFR mutations and ALK1 rearrangement (κ of 0.89 and κ of 1, respectively), which was confirmed by single-gene testing. Substantial agreement between the assays makes Tag-sequencing a viable option for identifying multibiomarkers from the plasma of advanced NSCLC patients in special circumstances where tissue has depleted/tumor is inaccessible/high risk of biopsy due to existing comorbidities.

EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) • KRAS (KRAS proto-oncogene GTPase) • ALK1 (Activin A Receptor Like Type 1)
Hence we recommend performing ALK gene rearrangement analysis in all cases of sarcomatoid lung carcinomas. The report discusses the diagnostic approach and provides insight into the molecular pathogenesis of this exceedingly rare malignancy.
