    Author: Jindani R, Lopez MA, Miquel TP, Sylvin E.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Rep; 2021 Jan; 10(1):e42-e44. PubMed ID: 34194921.
    Abstract:
    Background  Pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (P-EMC) is an extremely rare, well-differentiated, and malignant neoplasm originating from submucosal bronchial glands in the lung. EMCs arise mainly in the salivary glands. Case Description  This case represents an asymptomatic 78-year-old male with a remote 75-pack-year history of smoking who presents with a solitary endobronchial lesion, which is suggestive of a primary lung EMC, detected on annual screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Conclusion  A recent review of literature reveals less than 50 documented cases of the pulmonary subtype of this tumor worldwide. We are reporting a unique case of robot-assisted pulmonary lobectomy for a P-EMC.
