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