Title: HEMOPTYSIS IN A YOUNG CHINESE MAN: A CASE OF PRIMARY LYMPHOEPITHELIOMA-LIKE CARCINOMA OF THE LUNG
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated undifferentiated carcinoma that presents primarily in young non-smoking Asians. The histology of this carcinoma is indistinguishable from lymphoepithelioma of the nasopharynx. We describe a patient who presented with massive hemoptysis, and was found to have lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung with coexistent culture-negative pulmonary tuberculosis.
