기관지 점막표피종 치험 -1례 보고-

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.
