Abstract:
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a rate low-grade malignant salivary neoplasm that usually occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. We report a case of a primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung neoplasm. The patient was 48-year-old women who presented with dry cough of 1 month duration. A right middle lobe endobronchial lesion was identified bronchoscopically. The bilobectomy of RML & RLL was performed, the pathologic result was epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.
