Abstract
Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-UTs) are rare undifferentiated thoracic malignancies with poor prognosis. They predominantly affect young men who are heavy smokers. Recently, the category of SMARCA4-deficiency–related malignancy has been expanded to include extra-thoracic sites, such as the paranasal sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, ovary, and uterus. We report a rare case of SMARCA4-deficient tumors in the adrenal gland and small intestines. SMARCA4-deficient tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis when multiple large masses with heterogeneous contrast effect and strong accumulation are seen in cancers of unknown primary on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT).
