  • Title: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the bronchus: is conservative surgery always justified?
    Author: Menon P, Singh M, Rao KL, Gulati M, Saxena AK, Gupta K, Kakkar N, Vasishta RK.
    Journal: Indian J Cancer; 2003; 40(1):34-6. PubMed ID: 14716131.
    Abstract:
    A case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the bronchus in a 7-year-old boy is reported. The patient underwent right pneumonectomy. Histologically, the tumor was a low-grade muco-epidermoid carcinoma arising from the bronchus with lymph node metastasis in the drainage area. Presence of lymph node metastasis in this low-grade tumor suggests the possibility of early progression of disease in what has until now been considered a very slow growing tumor. Aggressive surgery may be necessary in these situations.
