ABSTRACT
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) is a rare histological type of cancer of the salivary glands. LEC is characterized histologically as non-keratinizing, undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma with lymphocytic infiltration. According to several in-situ hybridization studies, LEC is strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. We report, along with a review of literature, a rare case of EBV positive primary LEC of the parotid that excluded the possibility of coexisting or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
