Abstract

Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is rare; only 26 case reports have been identified in the literature. The present report presents a case of a 67-year-old white man with a T1 N1 M0 lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung. He presented with severe arthritic complaints that resolved after resection of the tumor. The majority of these tumors have occurred in Asian patients who have shown evidence of previous exposure to the Epstein-Barr virus.

摘要

原发性肺淋巴上皮瘤样癌很罕见；文献中仅发现26例病例报告。本报告介绍了一名67岁白人男性，患有T1 N1 M0期肺淋巴上皮瘤样癌。他因严重的关节炎症状就诊，肿瘤切除后症状缓解。这些肿瘤大多发生在有证据表明既往感染过爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒的亚洲患者中。
