[Rare subtype of lung carcinoma].
Rare subtypes of lung cancer, that is, carcinoid, adenoid cystic carcinoma, muco-epidermoid carcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma, were described. These tumors except adenosquamous carcinoma, are generally low malignant and slow growing and arise from upper airway. Complete surgical resection is the best treatment. Sometime tracheobronchoplastic surgery is recommended. Adenosquamous carcinoma is more malignant than adenocarcinoma or squamous carcinoma.
