Popis: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the skin is a very rare malignancy of undetermined histogenesis that typically presents as a firm, slowly enlarging, nonulcerated, nonpigmented cutaneous nodule on the face and scalp of older individuals. Despite having histological features of an anaplastic large cell carcinoma, this tumour follows an indolent course and complete excision is usually curative. A case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the skin on the arm of a 38-year-old white woman is presented and the literature on this rare skin malignancy is reviewed.
