J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2009 Mar;31(3):206-8. doi: 10.1097/MPH.0b013e3181978e62.

Abstract

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare carcinoma, most frequently seen in the salivary gland. There are no case reports in the pediatric population of isolated lung lesions. In this case report, we describe a 7-year-old patient with isolated lung epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma and the management of such a lesion.
