Abstract
We report three cases of bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma (BMEC) of low-grade malignancy with a relafase-free follow up. BMEC are rare tumors. The microscopic findings distinguish low-grade tumors which occur in children and young adults and high-grade tumors concerning older patients; this grading is based on the study of the epidermoid component. If possible, conservative therapy is appropriate in low-grade tumors. The prognosis of high-grade tumors is poor.
