The Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small nuclear RNA, EBER-1, has been shown to be a suitable target for the in situ hybridization detection of EBV in routinely processed tissue specimens. We evaluated the presence of EBV in thymic carcinoma and invasive thymoma using EBER-1 in situ hybridization on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. EBER-1 expression was demonstrated in a case of lymphoepithelioma-like thymic carcinoma, but was not detectable in other thymic carcinomas including six squamous cell carcinomas, a clear cell carcinoma and seven invasive thymomas. As reported in three previous cases of EBV-associated thymic carcinoma, lymphoepithelioma-like thymic carcinoma was shown to be closely associated with EBV in our series.
