Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is one of bronchial adenoma which arising from submucosal gland or mucosal gland of lower respiratory tract. The symptoms of the tumor were produced by bronchial irritation and bronchial obstruction such as coughing, pneumonitis, and atelectasis. The malignancy potency of this tumor was determined by histologic pattern but high grade malignancy was uncommon and so distant metastasis was rare. Three treatment modality such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy were used for treatment but radiotherapy and chemotherapy were lesser effective than surgery. So Early and radical resection of tumor was recommended. Here we report one case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma which treated with radical resection.

A case of metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung, originating from the hard palate, was diagnosed by sputum and bronchial washing cytology. Although the cytologic features of mucoepidermoid carcinoma have been well described, it is easy to confuse mucoepidermoid carcinoma with the more common primary adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The features distinguishing mucoepidermoid carcinoma from other primary neoplasms include 1) mucus-secreting cells individually and in clusters admixed with other cell components, 2) epidermoid cells identified by the presence of abundant spread-out cytoplasm and an oval dark nucleus and 3) intermediate cells resembling normal ductal epithelial cells with moderate-to-scanty cytoplasm, a central, round vesicular nucleus and a prominent nucleolus. The morphologic features of metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma in this case were similar to those of primary salivary mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

기관지에서 발생하는 점액표피양 암종은 폐에서 발생하는 암종의 0.2%를 차지할 정도로 드물다. 주로 기관지 폐쇄에 의한 증상이나 반복적인 폐렴의 임상양상을 보인다. 조직학적인 기준에 따라서 일반적으로 저등급과 고등급으로 나누어지고 예후도 다르다. 저자들은 반복되는 기침과 열을 주소로 내원한 40세 여성에서 발생한 흔하지 않은 중간등급의 기관지 점액상피양 암종 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고 현재까지 국내에 보고된 자료들을 바탕으로 조직학적인 등급과 TNM stage에 따른 임상경과의 차이를 보고하는 바이다.

점막 표피양 선종은 드문 종양으로 원발성 악성 기관지 선종의 1%와 모든 폐종양의 0.2%를 차지한다. 이종양은 기관지 자극이나 폐쇄에 의한 증상을 나타낸다. 원격 전이는 드물기 때문에 완절 절제술이 최선의 치료법이다. 이 종양의 예후는 종양의 조직학적 악성도에 의한다. 저자들은 기침과 피가래의 증상을 보인 15세의 점막 표피양 종양환자를 경험하였다. 환자는 흥부 전산화단층 촬영과 기관지 내시경하 생검 후 개흉술을 시행하여 이엽절제술에 의한 완전한 종양 절제를 받았다.

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare tumor in the lung. A case of bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology is presented. The smear showed many intermediate cells with occasional mucus-secreting cells. Malignant squamous cells were not present. The cellular arrangement of intermediate cells was overlapping and grouped in ball-like fashion. These cytologic features are unique for diagnosis of this tumor.

저자들은 기침, 객담 및 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 63세 여자환자에서 좌측 주기관지에서 발생한 아주 드물게 선암종과 동반된 점액표피양 암종을 폐절제술과 함께 진단하여 술후 항암제 치료를 병행하여 현재까지 34개월 간 재발없이 병의 경과를 관찰 중인 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the bronchus is very rare neoplasm. The histological appearance is an intimate mixture of mucous-producing cell and epidermoid cell. The malignant potency of the tumor was determined by histologic pattern. Bronchoplasty techniques represent the ideal form of excisional therapy for benign endobronchial tumor as well as tumors of low-grade malignant potential, such as bronchial adenoma, and for repair of traumatic airway injuries and benign stricture and selected group of patients with carcinoma of the lung. We experienced a case of-low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a patient of 21-year old male who has been suffered from hemoptysis episodes for several years. The sleeve resection of left main bronchus and left lower lobectomy due to bronchiectatic change were carried out. The patient are being followed up without specific problem.

Bronchial adenomas are a group of rare tumors representing less than 1% of primary lung neoplasms. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung is a very rare subtype of bronchial adenoma. We experienced a case of 20 year old patient with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung, so we present this case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma with literature review.

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare tumor in the lung for less than 1% of all pulmonary neoplasm. It is mostly presented as a solitary pulmonary nodule at a large bronchial tree on bronchoscope. But more peripheral located tumor that not accessible to the bronchoscope are rarely reported on literature. The cytologic findings of these tumors are discribed as a mixture of squamous cells, mucous cells, and intermediate cells with overlapped cellular clusters. We experienced a case of peripheral mucoepidermoid carcinoma of lung diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The smear showed many cellular clusters on mucoid background. They consisted of many intermediate cells with occasional mucus-secreting cells, but malignant squamous cells were not present.

기관지에서 점액상피양 종양은 드문 병변으로 대부분은 임상적으로 양성 경과를 보이는 저등급 암종이나 때로는 치명적인 고등급 암종을 보일 수 있으며 치료는 병리학적 등급에 관계없이 외과적 절제가 우선이다. 저자들은 호흡곤란을 내원하여 우폐 전체의 허탈 소견을 보인 임신 32주의 여자에서 조직학적으로 확인되어 수술한 저등급의 점액 상피양암 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
