You can do it like following

private void ComboBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            var comboBoxItem = e.AddedItems[0] as ComboBoxItem;
            if (comboBoxItem == null) return;
            var content = comboBoxItem.Content as string;
            if (content != null && content.Equals("some text"))
            {
                //do what ever you want
            }
        }
