Abstract:
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) of the salivary gland is a rare squamous cell carcinoma. LEC commonly presents in the parotid and submandibular glands and rarely in the sublingual gland. While salivary gland LEC has a predilection for Inuit-Yupik and Chinese populations, few cases have been reported in the Hispanic population and none for sublingual glands in the English language literature. Here, we present the seventh case report in the English language literature for sublingual LEC and the first case observed in a Hispanic patient.
