Abstract
-
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a rate low-grade malignant salivary neoplasm that
usually occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. We report
a case of a primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung neoplasm. The patient
was 48-year-old women who presented with dry cough of 1 month duration. A right middle
lobe endobronchial lesion was identified bronchoscopically. The bilobectomy of
RML & RLL was performed, the pathologic result was epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.
