Abstract:
:This report describes the case of a 71-year-old female presenting with a metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) in the lung 43 years after the initial treatment for the primary tumor. This case represents a very long period between initial diagnosis and distant metastasis with a pathological examination of both the primary and metastatic tumors. Metastatic tumor should be considered for the differential diagnosis of a pulmonary nodule in a patient who has a history of this type of oral tumor.

abstract::Surgical revascularization remains the standard of care for many patients. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved during the past 20 years, and as such can significantly reduce the occurrence of neurological complications.
