Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a relatively common salivary glands tumor. This tumor is characterized by mucus secretion, cell type can be intermediate or squamous. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the bronchi and especially trachea is very unusual. We are reporting the case of a 22 years old female who presented with main complaint of exertional dyspnea and stridor for about 2 month. Bronchoscopy examination showed a mass with smooth surface in trachea. After surgery a low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma was confirmed by pathological examination.
黏液表皮样癌是一种相对常见的唾液腺肿瘤。该肿瘤的特征是黏液分泌，细胞类型可为中间型或鳞状。支气管尤其是气管的黏液表皮样癌非常罕见。我们报告一例22岁女性病例，其主要症状为劳力性呼吸困难和喘鸣约2个月。支气管镜检查显示气管内有一表面光滑的肿块。手术后，病理检查确诊为低级别黏液表皮样癌。
