Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung is extremely rare. This rare tumor arise beyond the carina, usually main stem bronchi, but occasionally in lobar or segmental airways, This tumor presents with symptoms of bronchial irritation or obstruction. Distant metastasis is an uncommon, therefore complete surgical resection is the treatment of the choice. The prognosis of this tumor correlates with the histologic grade of the tumor. We experienced a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from the right middle lobe, which was treated with the right middle lobectomy, with good result. We report this case and follow-up of the patient.
