  • Title: [A case of bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma treated with right sleeve middle lobectomy].
    Author: Satoh Y, Kojima A, Waku M, Nakajima Y.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1998 Jun; 51(6):509-12. PubMed ID: 9637848.
    Abstract:
    We reported one case of a 26-year-old woman in whom mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the right middle lobe bronchus was successfully treated by bronchoplasty. The patient complaining fever and cough was admitted to our hospital and the bronchoscopic examination revealed a tumor mass occluding the right middle lobe bronchus. Thus, sleeve middle lobectomy was performed. The histological examination of the resected material revealed a low-grade malignant mucoepidermoid carcinoma with no lymphatic metastasis. The patient has been well and free of recurrence for one year postoperatively. In this case, sleeve lobectomy is approved of an effective method for local curability and preservation of respiratory function.
