Abstract

The mucoepidermoid cancer is a tumor arising in the bronchial submucosal glands that shows an intimate admixture of glandular element and sheets of cell with or no definite squamous differentiation. This rare tumor is usually located in lobe and bronchi and occasionally in the trachea. This tumor presents with symptoms of bronchial irritation or obstruction, often of several years duration. The treatment is complete resection with use of bronchoplastic techniques.Low grade tumor have a good prognosis with adequate resection. We experienced a case of mucoepidermoid cancer arising from superior segment of left lower lobe, which was treated with Lt.lower lobectomy.
