ABSTRACT
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a well differentiated malignant neoplasm, which originates from the salivary glands. The primary pulmonary manifestation is rare-about 30 cases have been reported worldwide. In the literature, anatomical resection has been described as the standard surgical approach. In the presented case, a wedge resection was performed, with no evidence for tumor relapse in the follow-up reevaluation after 24 months. This is the first case report of a primary pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma that has been treated with a non-anatomical wedge resection and lymph node dissection as a curative approach.
