Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is a neoplasm at extranasal sites with striking histological similarity to lymphoepithelioma arising in the nasopharynx. The tumor is composed of islands of pleomorphic cells with a lymphocytic infiltrate. The head and neck are the principal locations for this tumor, which occurs in the skin. Differential diagnoses include squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell tumor, lymphoma, cutaneous lymphadenoma, malignant melanoma, and metastatic lymphoepithelioma. Here, we report a case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the skin in a 78 year-old male who had a firm nodule on the right upper eyelid. He was treated with wide excision and local flap coverage. The patient had been disease-free for more than 1 year.
