      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. Mucoepidermoid tumors are rare in the bronchial tree. The 2 cases reported here bring the total number of cases in the literature to 13.
      • 2.
        2. Mucoepidermoid tumors can be distinguished from other bronchial adenomas by their characteristic morphology, endobronchial appearance, and natural history.
      • 3.
        3. Bronchial adenomas composed exclusively of mucus-secreting glands closely resemble mucoepidermoid tumors in their natural history and pathogenesis.
      • 4.
        4. One of the cases reported here is unique in that it is the only recorded example of carcinoma supervening in a mucoepidermoid tumor of the bronchus.
