Abstract：Bronchial epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a very rare type of salivary gland tumor originating from tracheobronchial glands.Imaging examinations of the patients showed varied symptoms of Bronchial obstruction,predominantly appearing as endobronchial mass.Because its clinical and imaging characteristics are not typical,it is easy to cause missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses.The diagnoses is mainly based on the pathology and immunohistochemistry.Surgical resection for Bronchial EMC treatment is still the main clinical method.Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been shown to be not sensitive for Bronchial EMC treatment.Bronchoscopic photodynamic therapy is a minimally invasive,safe and effective method for the treatment of bronchial EMC.This article reports one case of Bronchial EMC diagnosed and treatment strategy,and the literature was reviewed to deepen the knowledge of Bronchial EMC.
