Abstract

Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is a rare type of non-small cell lung carcinoma. In this study, we aimed to present a 62-year-old smoker male with a primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the hilar region of the left lung. The patient underwent left pneumonectomy and no adjuvant therapy was given. There were no other abnormalities on whole body PET/CT scan including the nasopharyngeal region. The patient showed seropositivity for EBV IgG but immunohistochemistry and PCR amplification studied on paraffin-embedded tissue sections of the tumor failed to show any sign of EBV infection within the tumor cells. He is alive and disease-free four months after the operation. Although primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung is usually reported in young females with no history of tobacco use and the tumor cells are infected with EBV, it may rarely be seen in elderly males with a history of tobacco use and the tumor cells not infected with EBV.

Özet

Akciğerin primer lenfoepitelyoma benzeri karsinomu, nazofarinkste görülen ile benzer klinik ve histopatolojik özellikler taşıyan, nadir bir küçük hücreli dışı akciğer karsinomu varyantıdır. Bu çalışmada, sol akciğer hiler yerleşimli kitlesi olan, uzun yıllardır sigara kullanma öyküsü bulunan, altmış iki yaşındaki erkek hastayı sunmayı amaçladık. Bronkoskopik biyopsisinde küçük hücreli dışı karsinom tanısı verilen hastanın pnömonektomi materyalinde lezyonun tamamının incelenmesi sonucu olgu, lenfoepitelyoma benzeri karsinom olarak rapor edildi. Hastanın, serolojik incelemesinde EBV IgG pozitif idi ancak tümöre ait parafin blokta yapılan immunohistokimyasal ve PCR çalışmaları ile tümör hücrelerinde EBV enfeksiyonu bulgusu saptanmadı. Nazofarinksi de kapsayan tüm vücut PET/ CT taramasında başka bir patoloji saptanmayan hasta, primer akciğer lenfoepitelyoma benzeri karsinomu olarak kabul edildi. Hastaya adjuvan tedavi verilmedi. Dördüncü ay izleminde nüks ya da metastaz bulgusu saptanmadı. Akciğerin primer lenfoepitelyoma benzeri karsinomu genelde diğer akciğer karsinomu türlerine göre daha genç, sigara öyküsü olmayan bayan hastalarda görülen ve EBV ile ilişkisi olduğu düşünülen bir tümör olmakla birlikte nadiren de bizim olgumuzdaki gibi daha yaşlı, sigara kullanan erkek hastalarda ve EBV ile ilişkisiz olarak da görülebilir.
