Article Synopsis
- - Teratomas are rare germ cell tumors usually found in children, and a unique case of retroperitoneal papillary thyroid carcinoma in an adult woman is discussed here.
- - A 41-year-old woman experienced intermittent abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a retroperitoneal mass that turned out to be papillary thyroid carcinoma after surgical removal.
- - Diagnosing primary retroperitoneal teratomas can be challenging due to vague symptoms and limited imaging findings; surgery is the main treatment, but decisions on further treatments like total thyroidectomy and radioiodine therapy remain debated.
Background: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary glands (LECSG) is a rare disease in the Western hemisphere that is typically associated with an EBV infection. The molecular mechanisms of LECSG tumorigenesis are poorly understood.
Results: Here we report a case of EBV-associated LECSG with an unusual immunophenotype.
