Rationale: Pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PLELC) is a rare type of primary malignant lung tumor characterized by Epstein-Barr virus infection, with, to the authors' knowledge, a total of only 500 reported cases during the past 30 years worldwide. Histologically, PLELC is similar to undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. However, although PLELC accounts for <1% of all lung cancers, it has a better prognosis and is usually detected in non-smokers and individuals of Asian ancestry.

NUT (nuclear protein in testis) carcinoma (NC) is an aggressive carcinoma characterized by rearrangements of the NUT gene on chromosome 15q14. Histologically, it is a poorly differentiated carcinoma composed of monotonous, medium-sized, round cells with scant amphophilic or eosinophilic cytoplasm. Foci of abrupt keratinization are often seen.

Purpose: In pediatric endoscopic surgery, a limited view and lack of tactile sensation restrict the surgeon's abilities. Moreover, in pediatric oncology, it is sometimes difficult to detect and resect tumors due to the adhesion and degeneration of tumors treated with multimodality therapies. We developed an augmented reality (AR) navigation system based on preoperative CT and MRI imaging for use in endoscopic surgery for pediatric tumors.
