Abstract

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.

Key Words: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
