CTICasesEndobronchial Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
Imaging findings
CT shows a smooth, rounded, vascular endobronchial mass in the right main bronchus with distal mucus plugging, pathologically proven to be mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Key takeaways
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare salivary gland-type tumor of the lung. They typically present as polypoid endobronchial masses in young patients, causing chronic cough, hemoptysis, or post-obstructive atelectasis, and carry a good prognosis if low-grade and resectable.
