Unusual Synchronous Lung Tumors : Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma and Mucinous Adenocarcinoma

الملخص EN

Primary mucoepidermoid tumors of the lung are rare entities.

Synchronous primary malignancies of the lung involving mucoepidermoid carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma are even rarer and constitute a unique set of patient population.

The presentation, diagnosis and treatment strategies for this patient population are not well described.

In most cases, the diagnosis of synchronous primary lung malignancy is made after pathological examination of the resected lung specimen.

Molecular and genetic analysis is now being used to supplement the diagnosis of synchronous primary lung malignancies.

In this work, we briefly discuss the current state of knowledge of this unique combination of primary lung malignancies and describe the clinical presentation and management of a patient with a rare combination of synchronous primary lung malignancies.
