Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a relatively common salivary glands tumor. This tumor is characterized by mucus secretion, cell type can be intermediate or squamous. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the bronchi and especially trachea is very unusual. We are reporting the case of a 22 years old female who presented with main complaint of exertional dyspnea and stridor for about 2 month. Bronchoscopy examination showed a mass with smooth surface in trachea. After surgery a low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma was confirmed by pathological examination.Entities:
