title: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland arising in an intraglandular lymph node: report of a rare case mimicking metastasis.
abstract: We present a case (female patient aged 40 years) with a primary Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland that was confined to an intraparotid lymph node. This appearance of the tumor simulated a metastasis that was excluded by exhaustive radiologic and clinicopathologic investigations.
