Glioblastoma (GBM) is a high-grade adult-type IDH-wildtype diffuse glioma, commonly harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification. Here, we describe a case of a 49-year-old man with a GBM harboring a TERT promoter mutation. Despite surgical and chemoradiation therapy, the tumor recurred. At that time, comprehensive genomic profiling by next-generation sequencing identified two rare mutations in EGFR: T790M and an exon 20 insertion. Based on these findings, the patient elected to undergo off-label therapy with osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising results in non-small cell lung carcinoma, including metastatic to brain, with exactly the same EGFR mutations.Moreover, the drug has excellent central nervous system penetration. Even so, no clinical response was observed, and the patient succumbed to the disease. The lack of response may be related to the specific nature of the EGFR mutations, and/or other unfavorable tumor biology overriding any benefit from osimertinib.
