Abstract

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a tumor that occurs outside the nasopharynx, and its morphological characteristics are similar to those of nasopharyngeal lymphoepithelioma. LELC in the maxillofacial region is a rare tumor with an unknown etiology and low malignant potential. This case of lymphoepithelioid carcinoma is clinically characterized by hard nodules in the facial subcutaneous tissue. Histologically, LELC shows infiltration of dense lymphoplasmacytic cells between the stroma and cancer cells. We report a case of maxillofacial LELC, and discuss the etiology, clinical histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and treatment of this rare skin tumor
