Abstract

SNLEC is not uncommon in Guangzhou. This tumour is also consistently associated with EBV infection like NPC. As compared to NPC, the EBV harbored in SNLECs seems to express the EBV nuclear antigen 1 weakly and has a lower expression rate of latent membrane protein 1 as well as higher expression rates of EBV lytic products.
