[Mucoepidermoid bronchial tumors. General review apropos of 2 new cases].
Muco epidermoïd tumors of the lung are rare tumors, derived from the minor salivary gland tissue of the proximal tracheo bronchial tree. We distinguish high grade and low grade malignity tumors. Authors are presenting two cases reports of mucoepidermoid tumors of the lung with a very aggressive behavior and a review of the literature. Attention is drawn to the difficult differential diagnosis with adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung.
