Figure 2: a) Scanner view of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) showing tumor (long arrow) arising from adjacent minor salivary gland (short arrow) in the submucosa of bronchus (H&E stain, magnification x40); b) Section shows foci of MEC on right side consisting of admixture of epidermoid and mucous cells (long arrow). Left side shows normal minor salivary gland tissue (short arrow) containing seromucinous glands (H&E stain, magnification x40); c) Low power view showing MEC (short arrow) on left side and adjacent lung parenchyma (long arrow) on right side (H&E stain, magnification x100); d) Tumor showing variable components of intermediate type squamous cells (short arrow) and mucin producing cells (long arrow). Intracytoplasmic mucin is also evident (H&E stain, magnification x200)
