Double Duty: Complete Pathologic Response of Two Colonic Primaries with Mosaicism of a Novel <i>MLH1</i> Mutation to Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab

We present a fascinating case of a 57-year-old male with a novel mutation in MLH1 (<i>MLH1:c.1288G > T, p.(Glu430*)</i>), who presented with two synchronous colonic tumours, initially deemed unresectable, and experienced a complete pathological response on neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. E...

description We present a fascinating case of a 57-year-old male with a novel mutation in MLH1 (<i>MLH1:c.1288G > T, p.(Glu430*)</i>), who presented with two synchronous colonic tumours, initially deemed unresectable, and experienced a complete pathological response on neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. Extensive genetic testing revealed post-zygotic mosaicism from the novel mutation.
