Abstract

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is a rare tumor that is considered a subtype of undifferentiated large cell carcinoma with abundant invasion by lymphocytes. Although initially described as a tumor occurring in the nasopharynx, this type of carcinoma has since been seen in many other organs. We report the case of a 59-year-old male smoker diagnosed with lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma.
