Abstract:
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare type of tumor of bronchial glands. We describe an unusual presentation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a 19-year-old man with atypical pneumonia, deep vein thromboses and recurrent pulmonary embolism, which, to the best of our knowledge has not previously been reported.
