- Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is primarily found in the nasopharynx but can also occur in other locations like the salivary gland and lungs, though lung cases are rare.
- A case study involved a 66-year-old white male diagnosed with T2N0M0 LELC of the lung, highlighting its unusual occurrence.

Article Abstract
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC), best known to occur in the nasopharynx, can arise in a variety of sites, such as the salivary gland, thymus, lung, stomach, and skin. Primary LELC of the lung is very rare, with only limited information in the literature. We presented a case of a 66-year-old white man with a T2N0M0 lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung. Immunohistochemical analysis was negative for Epstein-Barr virus. Observation of the nasopharynx and a computerized tomography of the cavum were normal.
