Article Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common salivary gland malignancy. The majorities of these tumors arise in the parotid and minor salivary glands, but may rarely develop intraosseously. The latter is not uncommonly associated with diagnostic and management difficulties. We report an example of intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma with positive TORC1/MAML2 gene fusion transcript and discuss the clinical implications.

Introduction And Importance: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the vallecula is exceptionally rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case highlights the complexities in diagnosing and managing MEC in an atypical location, where initial benign findings led to recurrent symptoms and required further investigation and intervention.

Pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (P-EMC) is a rare type of salivary gland tumour of the lung. Due to its rarity and lack of long-term follow-up data, there is no established standard for optimal treatment or duration of follow-up. The present study reports the case of a 58-year-old female patient with P-EMC originating from the middle part of the bronchus and presenting as an endobronchial mass in the left superior lobe.

Pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinomas (PMECs) are rare malignancies that often present with non-specific pulmonary symptoms and obstructive pneumonia. We present a 19-year-old female who presented with two years of recurrent pneumonia, dyspnea, and left-sided pleuritic pain. Review of serial ED imaging would identify a persistent lung infiltrate located in the left upper lobe.

Background: Progesterone (PR) plays a role in the differentiation and growth of various tissues. One of the most common carcinogenic mechanisms of PR is increasing cell proliferation and inhibiting their apoptosis. There are contradictory results from various studies about the expression level of PR receptors in salivary tumors.
