We describe a patient with both gastric adenocarcinoma and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of unknown primary site. The possibility of a single malignant clonal process as opposed to differing primaries was supported by the finding of both histologies exhibiting high microsatellite instability. Despite evidence of tumor microsatellite instability, the patient's disease process did not respond to immune checkpoint inhibition. Our pursuit of whole-exome sequencing and comparing the single-nucleotide variant profiles of both tumors supported a single clonal process with the development of significant intratumoral heterogeneity. High intratumoral heterogeneity has posed a challenge to precision medicine approaches, but we also provide a review of the literature of this phenomenon mediating resistance to immunotherapy strategies.
