LUQUE CABAL, M.; JIMENEZ FONSECA, P.; FERNANDEZ PEREZ, Y.  and  BUESA PEREZ, J. M.. Lung primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma: presentation of a case. Oncología (Barc.) [online]. 2006, vol.29, n.8, pp.41-44. ISSN 0378-4835.

PURPOSE: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is a rare diagnosis in our country. We report a case in a Caucasian patient, and make a bibliographic review of the entity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 54 year old male patient was diagnosed of having a lung lymphoepithelioma-like stage IIB carcinoma, who was treated by surgery and radiotherapy. We describe the clinical evolution employing different chemotherapy combinations after tumor relapsing. CONCLUSION: Lung lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma seems highly responsive to chemo-radiotherapy, but the treatment of choice has not been determined.

Keywords : Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma; Lung; Caucasian; Chemotherapy.
