Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC), a rare tumor in oral cavity is characterized by non-keratinizing, undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma with lymphocytic infiltration bearing microscopic resemblance to lymphoepithelioma (nasopharyngeal carcinoma). A 45 year old female presented clinically with an unusual maxillary swelling and pain in right upper posterior jaw with intermittent serous like discharge from the nose. A diagnosis of rare case of intraoral LELC was made.
