Infant-type hemispheric glioma, a new subtype of pediatric high-grade glioma, arises in the cerebral hemispheres. Despite better survival outcomes, the treatment of infant-type hemispheric glioma is still facing challenges. Here, we reported a case of QKI-ALK fusion, infant-type hemispheric glioma with lung metastasis who achieved a complete clinical response after lorlatinib treatment. This typical case demonstrated the importance of appropriate molecularly targeted treatments in ALK-fused tumors, and lorlatinib may serve as an effective complement to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy in primary glioma harboring ALK fusions and its metastasis.
