Abstract：Objective To analyze the clinical features,diagnosis and prognosis of patients with primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland. Methods Clinical data of 13 patients diagnosed with lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland in our hospital from 2009 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The median follow-up time was 38.5 months. All patients received radiotherapy after operation. Results Of 13 patients,9 cases were male and 4 female. The median age was 33 years. At the initial diagnosis,9 cases had primary lesions limited to the parotid gland,and 4 cases of lymph node metastases located in Ⅰ b and Ⅱ regions of the neck. According to UICC2010 staging,1 case was classified as stage Ⅰ,1 as stage Ⅱ,6 as stage Ⅲ and 5 as stage Ⅳ, respectively. Eleven surgically pathological specimens were tested with EBER in-situ,and 10 cases were positive for EBER. No patient died in the whole group. The 3-year overall survival rate was 100%. The 3-year progression-free survival rate was 76%. The 3-year local control rate was 92%. The 3-year metastasis-free survival rate was 84%. Conclusions The incidence of lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland is relatively low. The pathological features are associated with EB virus. It is prone to present with cervical lymph node metastasis. The possibility of lymph node metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma to the parotid gland should be excluded before treatment. At present, surgery combined with postoperative radiotherapy is the main treatment. The overall survival is favorable. Local recurrence and distant metastasis are the main causes of treatment failure.
