Abstract

Primary pulmonary neoplasms rarely occur in children, but the majority of those that do are malignant. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) represents ~10% of all primary pulmonary malignant tumors. However, MEC is not usually considered in the clinical differential diagnosis in pediatric practice. The present study presents the case of a seven‑year‑old female with a one‑year history of recurrent hemoptysis. Computerized tomography (CT) scans revealed a tumor originating in the right lower lobe bronchus. The patient did not receive any radiation and chemotherapy following a lobectomy on the right lower lung. The tumor was histopathologically determined to be an MEC of the tracheobronchial tree. Subsequent to a six‑year follow‑up, the MEC was undetectable in this patient, according to the clinical and radiological evidence. The literature with regard to pediatric MEC is also reviewed in this study.
