title: Primary pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma: report of two cases.
abstract: A 51-year-old man with adenoid cystic carcinoma in the main stem bronchus was treated by a left lower lobectomy. A 44-year-old man with adenoid cystic carcinoma in the peripheral small bronchi underwent a right sleeve upper lobectomy with tracheobronchoplasty and neo-carina reconstruction; because of positive tumor margins, radiotherapy was administered postoperatively. Both patients were alive without any signs of tumor after 30 and 24 months of follow-up, respectively.
