REKÜRREN PNÖMONİNİN NADİR BİR NEDENİ: MUKOEPİDERMOİD KARSİNOM

Öz

Bronşial kaynaklı mukoepidermoid karsinom (MEK), malignite potanesiyeli düşük bir tümördür. MEK, bronşial glandlardan köken alırlar. Mukoepidermoid karsinomlar nadir görülürler ve tüm akciğer kanserleri içerisinde %0.1-0.2 oranında görülen nadir tümörlerdir. MEK, histopatolojik olarak düşük veya yüksek grade olarak sınıflandırılır. Radyolojik bulguları soliter nodül, kitle veya pnömonik konsolidasyondur. Daha çok genç yaştaki insanlarda görülür. Tedavide, düşük gradeli tümörler lobektomi ile tedavi edilmelidir. Sleeve rezeksiyon gibi tedaviler, daha konservatif bir seçenektir. Bu makalede biz, pnömoni tedavisi sırasında çekilen bilgisayarlı tomografi ile tesbit edilen 29 yaşında mukoepidermoid kanserli hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastaya sağ sleeve lobektomi uyguladık. Postoperatif dönemi sorunsuzdu. Nadir görülmesi nedeniyle bu olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.

A RARE CAUSE OF RECURRENT PNEUMONIA: MUCOEPIDERMOID CARCINOMA

Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the bronchus (MEC) is a tumor of low malignant potential. MEC originates from bronchial glands.MECs are rare tumors with an incidence of 0.1%-0.2% of all lung cancers, occurring mostly in young persons. MEC is histopathologically classified as a low or high grade malignancy. Radiologic manifestations are consisted of solitary nodule, mass or pneumonic consolidation. Therapeutically, low-grade tumors should be completely excised with lobectomy. Sleeve resection provides a more conservative option. In this article. we report a histologically proven case of a MEC in a 29-year-old man that was detected by chest computed tomography during medical therapy for pneumonia. The right upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. His postoperative recovery was uneventful. We aimed to present because of the rarity.
