Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of lung.
A 57-year-old Caucasian woman presented with nonproductive cough. Computed tomography revealed a peripheral solid mass in the upper lobe of the left lung. She underwent thoracotomy and upper lobectomy. Histology of the excised tumor demonstrated lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung, with no associated Epstein-Barr virus activity. Being a rare entity and mostly seen in Asians, very few cases have been described previously.
