Although patients with non‐small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) harbouring mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene can show a remarkable initial response to treatment with EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors, resistance often develops and the disease progresses. A case of SCLC developing after such treatment for a NSCLC is described, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology and cell‐block immunocytochemistry.
