[Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung].
A 42-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography scan revealed a tumor 4.0 cm in diameter in the right segment S8. We resected the right lower lobe because of the possibility of lung cancer. Historical finding of the resected specimen revealed epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung. The patient has remained disease-free for a year and 3 months postoperatively.
