Los tumores mucoepidermoides del pulmón son neoplasias raras cuyo origen se cree que estriba en el epitelio ductular del árbol traqueohronquial proximal y por tanto fácilmente visibles y diagnosticables con la fibrobroncoscopia. Existe bastante confusión acerca de la evolución clínica de estos tumores, así como del tratamiento de elección. Presentamos un caso de tumor mucoepidermoide situado periféricamente en el pulmón sin relación con la via aérea.

Mucoepidermoid tumors of the lung are rare neoplasms whose origin is believed to lie in the ductular epithelium of the proximal tracheobronchial tree and are thus easily visible and diagnosticable with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The clinical evolution of these tumors is not clear, nor is the treatment of choice. The case of a mucoepidermoid tumor peripherally located in the lung with no relation to the airway is presented.
