Abstract
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung can be divided into low grade and high grade varieties, like their major salivary glands counterparts. This carcinoma comprises only. about 0.5% of all pulmonary neoplasma. Their clinical and biologic behaviors are closely related with histologic grade of carcinoma. We have experienced two cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Case 1 occurred in a 16 years old male and showed the histologic features of low grade type. This carcinoma arised from the right upper lobe bronchus which was removed by the right upper lobectomy. Case 2 occurred in a 41 year old male was the high grade carcinoma located at the distal left main bronchus which was removed by the left pnemonectomy.
