Mucoepidermoid lung carcinoma: diagnostic review
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare cause of primary bronchial lung malignancy. These tumors are more common in young people. The diagnosis is preferably made with Fibronchoscopy and the standard treatment for the main types of salivary gland cancer is surgical resection combined with adjuvant therapy in order to reduce failure rates. The rarity of the diagnosis and the few studies in the world literature affect the systemic therapeutic approach of these patients, constituting a challenge for the medical community.

Abstract:
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare cause of primary bronchial lung malignancy. These tumors are more common in young people. The diagnosis is preferably made with Fibronchoscopy and the standard treatment for the main types of salivary gland cancer is surgical resection combined with adjuvant therapy in order to reduce failure rates. The rarity of the diagnosis and the few studies in the world literature affect the systemic therapeutic approach of these patients, constituting a challenge for the medical community.
