Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma is particularly common in Southern China and is consistently associated with Epstein-Barr virus. In contrast, lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the bile duct is a rare disease and not always associated with Epstein-Barr virus. We report the first case of coexisting Epstein-Barr virus–associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the bile duct in a Chinese patient.

未分化鼻咽癌在南中國地區特別常見,發病通常與Epstein-Barr病毒相關。相反,淋巴上皮瘤樣膽管癌是一種罕見疾病,且不一定與Epstein-Barr病毒相關。本文報告首個併發Epstein-Barr病毒相關性鼻咽癌和淋巴上皮瘤樣膽管癌的華籍病例。
