Abstract
|
|
|
|
Bronchial mucoepidermoid tumors are rare, especially in children. They are commonly misdiagnosed as infections or asthma and treated with bronchodilators without resolution. Based on the available clinical outcome and survival data, it is believed that tracheobronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma may be successfully managed by surgical intervention alone in children and adolescents. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the right intermediate bronchus that caused chronic cough. He underwent sleeve resection of the right bronchus and remained symptom-free without recurrence during the follow-up period of 16 months.
