[A case of bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma in an 18-year old man].
18 years old man with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the left main bronchus was treated in Cardiothoracic Department of Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases in Warsaw. Diagnosis was established by microscopic examination of the samples taken during bronchofiberoscopy. Sleeve resection of the left main bronchus was performed. Microscopic examination of the resected tumor confirmed previous diagnosis and showed also that wall of the bronchus was not infiltrated by neoplasm and tumor was of low-grade malignancy. After the operation granulosis slightly narrowing bronchial anastomosis was observed. It was easily removed using the laser. Patient was discharged from hospital in good condition. Prognosis in this case is optimistic.
