Primary Lymphoepithelioma-like Carcinoma of the Lung: A Case Report

Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is a neoplasm seen most commonly in the nasopharynx of individuals from south China and Taiwan that is strongly associated with the Epstein-Barr virus. A 46-year-old Chinese woman presented with clubbed fingers and toes for one year and hemoptysis for more than one year. She was admitted to our hospital with a suspicious lesion in the left lower lobe of the lung. The patient was treated with surgical resection and diagnosed with primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung. These symptoms resolved themselves 6 months later.
