A Case of Lymphoepitheliomalike Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix / 대한산부인과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

The lymphoepitheliomalike carcinoma of the cervix is histologically similar to lymphoepithelioma of the nasopharyngeal region or medullary carcinoma of the breast which has grossly circumscribed, histologically poorly differentiated nonkeratinized squamous cell carcinoma with prominent stromal inflammation. Although the entity has been rarely reported in the united states, it has been reported relatively common in Japan. The Japanese literature suggests that patient with this varient may have a more favorable prognosis when compared with the usual squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix A patient with a squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with marked lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration is reported and the literature reviewed.
