Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is one of bronchial adenoma which arising from submucosal gland or mucosal gland of lower respiratory tract. The symptoms of the tumor were produced by bronchial irritation and bronchial obstruction such as coughing, pneumonitis, and atelectasis. The malignancy potency of this tumor was determined by histologic pattern but high grade malignancy was uncommon and so distant metastasis was rare. Three treatment modality such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy were used for treatment but radiotherapy and chemotherapy were lesser effective than surgery. So Early and radical resection of tumor was recommended. Here we report one case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma which treated with radical resection.
