Abstract

Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare tumor of the lung. LELC may also be seen
in the nasopharynx, salivary glands, stomach, or thymus. These tumors are often associated with Epstein-
Barr virus infection. Patient presenting with left hilar fullness and peripheral nodule in the left
lung was admitted to our clinic for diagnostic examination. Postoperative histopathological results of
sample confirmed diagnosis of LELC of the lung. LELC is classified as subtype of non-small cell lung
cancer; however, prognosis is better than non-LELC type of non-small cell lung carcinoma. Presently
described is a case of this rare disease.
