{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Lorlatinib is a new generation ALK kinase inhibitor. We describe a 52-year-old patient with ALK-positive advanced lung adenocarcinoma who achieved remission after multi-line therapy combined with paraneoplastic leukemoid reaction treated with Lorlatinib.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A 52-year-old male patient was diagnosed with stage IV right lung adenocarcinoma, ALK: (+), previously received oral Crizotinib and Alectinib. Blood routine showed white blood cells abnormally elevated after disease progression, and maximum white blood cell count was 179.14×10^9/L. The patient was enrolled in study entitled "a phase II, multicenter, open-label, dual-cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LORLATINIB monotherapy in ALK inhibitor-treated locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer patients in China". With oral Lorlatinib, the white blood cell count decreased from 179.14×10^9/L to normal after two weeks of administration. PFS was 4.5 months. When follow up imaging showed lesions progression, the white blood cell count increased again, diagnosing a paraneoplastic leukemic reaction. OS was 5.2 months.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>In this case, fourth-line Lorlatinib treatment is effiective in ALK-positive advanced patient with paraneoplastic leukemoid reaction.
