Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland arising in an intraglandular lymph node: report of a rare case mimicking metastasis

Abstract We present a case (female patient aged 40 years) with a primary Epstein-Barr virus–associated lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland that was confined to an intraparotid lymph node.
