Abstract:
Purpose To study the clinicopathologic features retrospectively and to explore the prognosis of 15 cases of young pulmonary primary salivary gland tumor. Methods The 15 cases of young pulmonary primary salivary carcinoma were analyzed respectively. Re-sults The 15 cases showed 7 cases with adenoid cystic carcinoma and 8 cases with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Cough and bloody sputum were main symptoms, while chest pain, chest distress and fever were less seen. There were 10 cases performed with partial pul-monary lobectomy, 3 cases performed with unilateral total lobectomy, 1 case performed with artery perfusion treatment and bronchial ar-tery embolization and 1 case performed with conservative treatment for pancreatic metastasis after diagnosis. The mean follow-up time was 28 months ( from 4 to 96 months) . Conclusion The primary salivary gland-type lung tumor belonged to benign or low-grade ma-lignant tumor, mainly accompanied with hacking cough and bloody sputum, which was commonly found in trachea and bronchus. Final diagnosis could be made through bronchoscopy and biopsy. Complete surgical excision is the primary method and the prognosis is usual-ly good, especially in the young.
