RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma within an intralobular pulmonary sequestration JF European Respiratory Journal JO Eur Respir J FD European Respiratory Society SP 1025 OP 1027 DO 10.1183/09031936.00.16510250 VO 16 IS 5 A1 Hekelaar, N A1 van Uffelen, R A1 van Vliet, AC A1 Varin, OC A1 Westenend, PJ YR 2000 UL https://publications.ersnet.org//content/16/5/1025.abstract AB A 31-yr-old Chinese female, a nonsmoker, presented with digital clubbing and coughing. Diagnostic evaluation revealed a pulmonary sequestration in the left lower lobe. During surgery a tumour was discovered, which turned out to be a lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma. These tumours are mainly found in Asians, and are associated with the Epstein Barr virus and not with smoking. They are thought to have a better prognosis and to be more chemosensitive. The need for surgical treatment of pulmonary sequestration and the recognition of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma as a distinct clinicopathological entity is emphasized.
