Metastatic low-grade myoepithelial carcinoma of lung managed with low-dose external beam radiotherapy

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2021 Jan-Mar;64(1):155-157. doi: 10.4103/IJPM.IJPM_385_20.

Abstract

Myoepithelial tumor of lung is a rare tumor; the histopathological findings resemble the myoepithelial tumors of the salivary gland. Distinguishing low-grade nonmetastatic myoepithelial carcinoma from benign myoepithelioma can be challenging both radiologically and histomorphologically. We present a case report of a low-grade myoepithelial carcinoma of lung with contralateral lung metastasis which was treated with low-dose external beam radiotherapy.

Keywords: Carcinoma; endobronchial; lung; metastasis; myoepithelial; radiotherapy.
