Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor, especially those localized at the head and neck region. The histological prototype of lymphoepithelial carcinoma is undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Herein, we report a case of a tumor localized in the left submandibular gland in a 20-year-old male. The tumor mass was surgically excised with the submandibular gland, and the specimen was pathologically confirmed to be lymphoepithelial carcinoma.
