Dyspnea, focal wheeze, and a slow growing endobronchial tumor

We describe a case of an otherwise healthy woman who presented with nonspecific respiratory symptoms, but was found to have recurrent focal findings on chest radiograph.

Descripción
Sumario:We describe a case of an otherwise healthy woman who presented with nonspecific respiratory symptoms, but was found to have recurrent focal findings on chest radiograph. Her CT scan showed an endobronchial lesion with distal bronchiectasis which was ultimately diagnosed as a mucoepidermoid carcinoma. In this report we discuss the clinical, radiographic, bronchoscopic and pathologic findings of rarely seen endobronchial mucoepidermoid tumors.
