Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the skin: a report of two cases treated with complete microscopic margin control and review of the literature.

چکیده
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the skin (LELCS) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm with microscopic similarities to non-cutaneous lymphoepitheliomatous malignancies, particularly undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasopharynx. It can be clinically and histologically confused with other benign and malignant tumors. If not adequately treated, recurrence and distant metastasis are probable. We present two cases of LELCS treated surgically with complete microscopic margin control (one by the Mohs method and the other with en face permanent sections) and review the literature.
