Primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung is an extremely rare histologic form that originates in the bronchial glands. Pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in the peripheral lung is extremely rare, and multiple primary pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma has not been reported to date. Here, we report a case of pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma presenting as multiple synchronous lesions. The patient underwent two treatments by video-assisted thoracic surgery within 3 years. At the 4-month follow-up, the patient had no evidence of recurrence. In conclusion, our case report may contribute to the understanding of pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.
原发性肺上皮-肌上皮癌是一种极其罕见的组织学类型,起源于支气管腺体。外周肺的肺上皮-肌上皮癌极为罕见,迄今为止尚未有多发原发性肺上皮-肌上皮癌的报道。在此,我们报告一例表现为多发同步性病变的肺上皮-肌上皮癌病例。该患者在3年内接受了两次电视辅助胸腔镜手术治疗。在4个月的随访中,患者无复发迹象。总之,我们的病例报告可能有助于增进对肺上皮-肌上皮癌的了解。
