Description SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated thoracic tumors are novel tumors first described in 2015, with limited reported cases to date. They typically occur in male middle-aged smokers and are highly aggressive. They can be metastatic on presentation, most commonly to the lymph nodes, bones, or adrenal glands. We present a unique case of metastatic SMARCA4-deficient thoracic tumor, in which the initial symptoms were headaches and visual hallucinations.
