Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung with intracranial metastases.
Discussed is the first roentgenographic and post-mortem description of a patient with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung who presented with intracranial metastases. The patient's primary tumor eluded physical diagnosis and bronchoscopic delineation. The autopsy confirmed minimal tumor involvement of the bronchial wall despite bulky regional and distant metastases.
