Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 11
Abstract
ABSTRACT Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC) is a salivary gland neoplasm which originates from minor salivary glands in proximal bronchi. They are usually central in location adjacent to large airways. Here, we report a case of MEC which presented as a peripheral lesion with central cavitation. Patient underwent left upper lobectomy and histopathology was positive for p63, p40, CK5/6, CK7 and negative for TTF-1, Napsin A, with overall features in favour of high grade MEC. Post procedure he was stable and was later advised for chemotherapy.
