title: Bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma: an unusual cause of complex cystic lung mass in a young man.
abstract: Bronchial mucopeidermoid carcinoma is extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.1 to 0.2% of all primary lung tumors. It usually presents as an endobronchial mass with either partial or total occlusion of the airway lumen. Common clinical presentations are hemoptysis, airway obstruction, and recurrent atelectasis or pneumonia. We present a 27-year-old man who complained of chronic cough as a result of bronchial mucopeidermoid carcinoma with resultant obstructive lung changes.
