BRAF p.V600E associated poly-neoplastic syndrome

We report a male patient who developed eight different cancers between ages 57 and 64. BRAF p.V600E mutation was detected in Langerhans cell histiocytosis, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, histiocytic sarcoma, melanoma, and adenocarcinoma of the lung. It was not detected in multiple myeloma, basal cell...
