[Clinicopathological Analysis of 14 Cases of Primary Pulmonary Lymphoepithelial Carcinoma].

PPLEC is a rare form of malignant lung tumor associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. The Regaud and Schmincke subtypes display distinct imaging and pathological characteristics. In the early stages of the disease, surgical intervention is the primary treatment method; however, for advanced stages, a multimodal treatment approach is utilized, resulting in a relatively favorable prognosis. Immunotherapy represents a promising and effective treatment modality for patients with middle to advanced stage disease exhibiting high PD-L1 expression levels.
