Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinomas of the lung are endobronchial tumors which typically present with features of central bronchial obstruction mimicking carcinoid tumors in imaging and bronchoscopic findings. They are classified into low grade and high grade based on histological features. Very few cases are reported from worldwide and from India. We present here a case of primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung in a 17 year old male which mimicked a carcinoid tumor in presentation.
