متن کاملMucoepidermoid tumors of the lung: analysis of 11 cases.
BACKGROUND Mucoepidermoid tumors (METs) of the trachea and bronchi are rare. They derive from the minor salivary gland tissue of the proximal tracheobronchial tree, and their clinical behaviors are still controversial. Herein, we analyze 11 cases of MET to investigate its clinicopathological characteristics. METHODS The medical records and pathological examinations of patients diagnosed with ...
