Primary Pulmonary Lymphoepithelioma-Like Carcinoma: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma PPLELC is an uncommon histological type of malignancy. It may involve the nasopharynx, salivary glands, lungs, stomach, and thymus. It has been mostly associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Herein, we report a rare case of PPLELC in whom the diagnosis was made based on the endobronchial ultrasound and transbronchial needle aspiration sampling in the light of literature data
