Summary

This report is about a 68 year old man who died of a tonsillar lymphoepithelial carcinoma. The wide-spread metastases called attention to the tumor. Considerations about the diagnostic difficulties, the etiology and the proper position of the tumor are made. Based on literature and autopsy findings the justification for continuing to use the term “lymphoepithelioma” is discussed and defended.
