It histology is varied, there is combination of stromal, myoepithelial and fibrous histiocytes and plasma cells on microscopy. The incidence is rare and accounts for about 0.04-1% of all lung tumors [2]. It is most commonly seen in young adults though rare in patients above 60 years of age. The commonest presentation is cough, dyspnoea etc., there could be no underlying symptoms in most cases [3]. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
