*

A variety of EGFR exon 20 alterations were present in colorectal cancer. Only one was an EGFR T790M and no EGFR insertions were seen. The functional impact of some of these alterations is unclear.

**

47 EGFR exon 20 mutations were observed in 44 patients; three patients presented multiple EGFR exon 20 mutations.
