Abstract:
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma was first reported in 1962. Since then, about 130 cases have been reported in the English-language literature. Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is a rare tumor of the major salivary gland. Most reported cases have occurred in Asians and Eskimos. We report two cases of lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the major salivary glands and one case of lymphoepithelial carcinoma of unknown origin. They received operation and postoperative radiotherapy. At follow-up, they remained free of disease.
