Patient 1 CT scans obtained at the time of first diagnosis, at tumor recurrence after surgery, after the first 6 months of TKI therapy, documenting a reduction of the lesion size, and at 89 months follow-up, showing persistent response to TKI. Patient 2 and 3 CT scan at diagnosis and after TKI treatment, showing almost complete response; electron micrographs of the resected lung specimen, with interstitial infiltration and microembolic diffusion of tumor cells (arrow), in the absence of an obvious tumor mass, in both cases (hematoxylin and eosin, 20x); follow-up CT scan, showing tumor recurrence in patient 2, 13 months after diagnosis, and absence of disease in patient 3, 19 months after diagnosis.
