Abstract
Patient: A 59-year-old patient with an extremely rare lymphoepitheliom a of the nasolacrimal duct was treated with radiation therapy and chem otherapy. Results: A complete remission was achieved. Serious side eff ects and late effects have, until now, not been observed, The patient has been free of tumor for two and a half years. Conclusions: With thi s case report, the authors wish to draw the attention of otorhinolaryn gologists to this unusual tumorsite. They emphasize that good results can be achieved with a combination of radiation therapy and chemothera py, if surgery is not possible.
