[Simultaneous occurrence of tracheobronchopathia osteochondropastica and mucoepidermoid carcinoma].
In a 51 year old male patient with tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica a mucodermoid carcinoma of the middle lobe of the lung was diagnosed. Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica is a rare condition which is occasionally diagnosed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. More frequently, however, it is only found at autopsy. Mucoepidermoid carcinomas derive from the glands of the bronchial tree and are divided in low-grade and high-grade tumors. The tumor should be locally resected, adjuvant radio- or chemotherapy is ineffective.
