A Case of Primary Lymphoepithelial Carcinoma in the Palate
ثبت نشده
چکیده
65 The Chinese Journal of Dental Research Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) is an undifferentiated tumour that is associated with a dense lymphoid stroma. An exceptionally high incidence of this tumour is found in the Inuit populations and Asians1,2. This neoplasm has been associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection2,3. LECs of salivary glands represent rare epithelial malignancies. They have been reported rarely in the minor salivary glands, particularly in the palate. This case report describes a primary LEC arising from the palate, which may come from the minor salivary gland.

Lymphoepithelial - like carcinoma, is rarely recognized in the urinary bladder and less commonly occurs with papillary transitional cell carcinoma i.e. mixed pattern. Also, less uncommon is the occurrence of carcinoma in situ changes in the adjacent urothelium of these tumors. Here, a case of lymphoepithelial – like carcinoma and papillary transitional cell carcinoma associated with carci...

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) of salivary gland origin is a rare malignant tumor with morphological characteristics identical to those of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It has a marked racial predilection for Inuit and Southeast Asian populations. An association between LEC and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has previously been reported. LEC most frequently affects the paroti...

A primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a squamous cell carcinoma arising within the jawbone andshould be differentiated from a malignant ameloblastoma. It is not due to arising from an odontogenic cyst or tumor. The possibility of the lesion being a metastasis fromanotherprimary site should be considered, and excluded by a careful history and examination. The diagnosis of a PIOC is ra...

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is considered as a rare malignant salivary gland neoplasm with good prognosis, low recurrence rate and rare metastasis. Here we present a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in a 42-year-old female with a swelling of 3-year duration in her palate. Histopathologic evaluation of the lesion demonstrated a well-circumscribed, biphasic salivary gland t...
