Abstract

A rare undifferentiated carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (UCLS) of the parotid gland is described in a white Turkish patient. The raised serum IgG to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen suggests a causal relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and this type of salivary gland carcinoma. Some clinical features are briefly reviewed.
