Özet
Mucous gland adenoma is an extremely rare, benign, predominantly exophytic tumor of the tracheobronchial seromucinous glands and ducts. In this article, we report a case of mucous gland adenoma arising from the left upper lobe bronchus, which was initially misdiagnosed as pneumonia in the light of literature review.
