Carcinoma of the salivary gland is an uncommon disease, accounting for less than 1% of all head and neck malignant neoplasm.1 Lymphoepthelioma is a malignant tumor of epithelial origin showing varying amounts of reactive lymphocytic infiltrate.Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) constitutes a significant proportion of salivary gland carcinoma in Chinese and Eskimo populations and is related to Epstein-Barr virus infection.2,3 Carcinoma of the salivary gland has a propensity for early lymphatic metastasis, and thus a swelling of cervical lymph nodes is occasionally the sole initial symptom.It is very vital to consider a multimodality approach including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for the treatment in the locally advanced disease.
