Preoperative fine needle aspiration diagnosis and cyto-histologic correlation of primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma have rarely been described in detail in the literature. A 26-year old male presented at our institution with cough, bloody sputum, and a 4.3 cm left lower lobe lung mass. He was accurately diagnosed with pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma on preoperative aspiration cytology. The patient subsequently proceeded to left lower lobectomy, confirming the diagnosis. In this article, we present a detailed report of primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma describing the cytologic and histologic morphologic features, its differential diagnosis with review of the literature.
