Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC), best known to occur in the nasopharynx, can arise in a variety of sites, such as the salivary gland, thymus, lung, stomach, and skin. Primary LELC of the lung is very rare, with only limited information in the literature. We presented a case of a 66-year-old white man with a T2N0M0 lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung. Immunohistochemical analysis was negative for Epstein-Barr virus. Observation of the nasopharynx and a computerized tomography of the cavum were normal.
淋巴上皮瘤样癌(LELC)最常见于鼻咽部,也可发生于多种部位,如唾液腺、胸腺、肺、胃和皮肤。原发性肺LELC非常罕见,文献中仅有有限的相关信息。我们报告了一例66岁白人男性,患有T2N0M0期肺淋巴上皮瘤样癌。免疫组化分析显示爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒阴性。鼻咽部检查及鼻窦计算机断层扫描均正常。
