Abstract
Background. We report a case of mucoepidermoid tumor with obstructive pneumonia. Case. A 26-years old woman was admitted to a local hospital because of pneumonia and right lung atelectasis, which did not respond to antibiotic treatment. Bronchoscopy revealed a tumor obstructing the truncus intermedius. Histopathological examination of the tumor showed mucoepidermoid carcinoma. She was referred to our department for further treatment, including possible surgery. We removed the tumor using a high-frequency knife under bronchoscopy. Follow-up bronchoscopy a week later revealed a fibrinous mass in the truncus intermedius necessitating additional resection. After 4 days, no tumor regrowth was observed, and we administered mitomycin-C. After 7 days, we performed a right middle and lower lobectomy with lymph node dissection, and covered the bronchial stump with a pericardial fat pad flap. Her postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological examination revealed no residual carcinoma. Conclusion. Using a high-frequency knife successfully removed an epidermoid carcinoma which had been obstructing the truncus intermedius with bronchoscopy. The patient's obstructive pneumonia improved, which enabled us to perform a subsequent right middle and lower lobectomy without any complications.
