title: [Mucoepidermoid bronchial carcinoma. Review of the literature apropos of a new case].
abstract: Muco-epidermoid bronchial tumours are rare and characterized by the coexistence of epidermoid, mucus-secreting and intermediate cells. The authors report the case of a 22-year old unmarried woman hospitalized for exploration of a febrile dyspnoea related to a right superior lobar atelectasis. Endoscopy showed a smooth, pediculate tumour arising from the right superior lobar bronchus where bronchial biopsy was negative. Right superior lobectomy was performed through thoracotomy and established the diagnosis of muco-epidermoid bronchial tumour. Surgery was followed by radiotherapy of the chest. Over a 5-year follow-up period there was no local or extrathoracic recurrence, and the patient is in good condition.
