Abstract

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) is most commonly seen in the nasopharynx. Very rarely it is found in the salivary gland, preferably in parotid gland foll­o­wed by submandibular gland where it accounts for 0.4% of all malignant salivary gland tumors. Most commonly it is seen in fifth decade with female predominance. Significant correlation has been reported between this tumor and the Epstein Barr virus (EBV).It has a racial predilection for Inuits,Chinese and Japanese. Very rarely it is found In Indians. So we present a case of LEC of parotid gland in a 23 year old male Indian patient. As this is a very radiosensitive tumor, surgery followed by radiotherapy remains the treatment of choice.
