Akciğer kanserinin nadir bir formu: Mukopepidermoid karsinom: Olgu sunumu

Akciğerin mukoepidermoid karsinomu (MEC), histolojik özelliklerine göre düşük ve yüksek gradeli olarak sınıflandırılan nadir bir akciğer kanseri türüdür.

Cerrahi rezeksiyon, mükemmel sonuçlara sahip düşük dereceli MEC için birincil tedavidir, ancak yüksek gradeli MEC bu malignitenin daha agresif bir şeklidir
