title: [Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the eye].
abstract: A lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the conjunctiva was excised in an 80-year-old female patient. The otorhinolaryngeal (ENT) examination did not show any abnormalities and nasopharyngeal or systemic metastases were absent. A strictly controlled clinical follow-up of the excision site was scheduled. A lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the eye is very rare and it is classified under the nasopharyngeal carcinomas. The diagnostics and therapy are an interdisciplinary task involving ENT, radiology, pathology and oncology and if the tumor cannot be completely excised, radiotherapy is also included.
