Abstract

A 30-year-old female was admitted for diagnosis of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. A computed tomography scan showed honeycombing in bilateral dorso-basal segments of the lung and a tumor obstructing the orifice of right middle lobe bronchus. Resection of the tumor by a bronchofiberscope was performed. However, a part of the tumor remained in the bronchus. Histlogical examination confirmed the tumor to be epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma. In order to assure a complete resection of the tumor, we performed right middle wedge bronchoplastic lobectomy. The patient is doing well, without recurrence 5 years after surgery.
