Background. Malignant lymphoepithelial lesions (MLEL) or lymphoepithelial carcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma with lymphoid stroma, is a rare but unique malignancy of the major salivary glands. There is an exceptionally high incidence in Eskimos and native Greenlanders, but it has never been reported in the Arab population. We report the first case from Saudi Arabia in the native Arabs. These are unencapsulated tumors with a strong tendency to metastasize to the regional lymph nodes. Methods. We reviewed English and Arabic literature and found the total number of reported cases of MLEL to be 103 with predominant involvement of the parotid gland. Parotidectomy followed by neck dissection and radiotherapy was performed, with a survey of the nasopharynx and EB virus titer. Results. The patient underwent radical neck dissection followed by radiation after developing the neck metastasize. Three years to date he remains in remission with no distant or regional metastases. Conclusion. Malignant lymphoepithelial lesions of the salivary gland are unencapsulated tumors with poorly differentiated epithelial cells scattered thorughout fibrolymphocytic stroma. They have a strong tendency to
