In this case, we report a 40-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with primary pulmonary NUT carcinoma in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. A tumor was found at the right hilus pulmonis when his physical examination with chest pain for half a month. Histopathology confirmed by fluorescence <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic> hybridization technique for the NUT carcinoma. After chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy were given, the patient died. The overall survival time was 4.7 months.
