[Surgical Case of Bronchial Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma Safely Diagnosed by Enucleation Under the Bronchoscopy After Bronchial Arterial Embolization].

A 28-year-old male presented to our hospital with hemoptysis and his chest computerized tomography (CT) showed the right middle and lower lobe atelectasis due to the tumor of right intermediate bronchial trunk. To reduce the blood flow to the tumor, bronchial arterial embolization was performed and the tumor was resected using Cryoprobe with a flexible endobronchial scope. Thus, we could observe the tumor localization and diagnose before the surgical procedure. We performed the right sleeve middle lobectomy and the right lower lobe was safely preserved.
