Sažetak
Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (lymphoepithelioma) is very rare. About 50% to 80% of patients are initially seen with cervical lymph node metastases from occult primary. Such lesions may be difficult or imposible to distinguish from lymphoma on hematoxylin and eosin stained sections, particularly when the lesion appears as a lymph node metastasis from an occult primary. Ancillary methods like immunohistochemistry and molecular technics or detection of serum antibodies aginst viral proteins may be necessary.
