Malignant Lymphoepithelial Lesion of the Submandibular Salivary Gland

Hossein M. Yazdi, Georgina R. Hogg

Abstract

A case of malignant lymphoepithelial lesion (MLEL) occurring in the submandibular salivary gland of an Eskimo woman is presented. These unusual carcinomas have a striking frequency in Eskimos but are usually in the parotid gland. Cytology of fine-needle aspirated material demonstrated the cell type found by histologic examination. Electron microscopy confirmed a squamous differentiation of the malignant cells.
