Pleomorphic adenoma in the lung.
Pleomorphic adenoma arising from right middle lobe bronchus is reported in an 18-year-old female. Right middle lobectomy was performed and the histologic pattern of the resected tumor was indistinguishable from that commonly described for pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands. Mitotic figures were not present. There has been no recurrence two years following surgery.
