Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the colon: report of a case with histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular studies for Epstein-Barr virus.
We report a case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the colon in a 62-year-old Hispanic male with multiple other tumors, including thyroid, breast, pharyngeal, and prostate carcinomas; a neurofibrosarcoma; and a meningioma. The association with Epstein-Barr virus infection and colonic lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma was studied using immunohistochemical and polymerase chain reaction techniques.
