Primary Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland A case report
Abstract
We present a case of a 54 year old female
with lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid
gland. Primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma
is a rare tumour of the salivary
glands and metastatic deposits from a nasopharyngeal
tract primary need to be excluded
before this diagnosis is made.
