Case Report: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung, a challenging diagnosis of an unusual case
There are some subtypes of lung cancer with very different behavior from the classical ones. For example, mucoepidermoid carcinomas of the lung have an exceptional survival with surgery, without needing further treatment, when they are classified as low-grade. This case report underscores the importance of an appropriate diagnosis based on the work of multidisciplinary tumor boards, even when there are difficulties in obtaining a tissue sample, to offer to the patients the best opportunities.
