ABSTRACT
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is an uncommon lesion that accounts for approximately 1% of primary malignant bronchial gland tumors and less than 0.2% of all lung neoplasm. This tumor presents with symptoms of bronchial irritation or obstruction. Distant metastasis is uncommon, therefore complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice. The prognosis of tumor correlates with on the histologic grade of tumor. We experienced mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a 15 year-old girl with symptoms of cough and blood tinged sputum. The patient underwent successful removal of tumor by bilobectomy via explorothoracotomy after chest CT and bronchoscopic biopsy.
