Case report reveals remission in adult with PDGFRB mutation after imatinib treatment, suggesting potential for targeted therapy.
Heterozygous activating mutations in platelet-derived growth factor receptor B (PDGFRB) have been recently identified as a cause of autosomal-dominant infantile myofibromatosis. We describe a 36-year-old man with PDGFRB c.1681C>T (p.R561C) mutation. Upon progressive disease, the patient received treatment with imatinib and showed a remarkable response with remission of multiple lesions after 12 months. This is the first report of an adult patient with PDGFRB c.1681C>T mutation treated with imatinib.
