Article Title: | Primary myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung: A rare entity treated with parenchymal sparing resection |
Abstract: | Primary lung myoepithelial carcinomas are rare neoplasms arising from the salivary glands of the respiratory epithelium. Given the rare occurrences and reports of these tumors, appropriate recommendations for resection are difficult to formulate. Although classified as low-grade neoplasms, these tumors have a significant rate of recurrence and distant metastasis. © 2011 Sarkaria et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. |
