First case report of a curative wedge resection in epithelial–myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung

Abstract

Epithelial–myoepithelial carcinoma is a well differentiated malignant neoplasm, which originates from the salivary glands. The primary pulmonary manifestation is rare—about 30 cases have been reported worldwide. In the literature, anatomical resection has been described as the standard surgical approach. In the presented case, a wedge resection was performed, with no evidence for tumor relapse in the follow-up reevaluation after 24 months. This is the first case report of a primary pulmonary epithelial–myoepithelial carcinoma that has been treated with a non-anatomical wedge resection and lymph node dissection as a curative approach.
