Lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LEL-ICC) is a rare liver tumor that appears as a hepatic nodule on imaging with a specific pathological pattern, and the definitive diagnosis relies on its pathological histomorphology, immunophenotype, and Epstein-Barr encoding region test. Radical surgical resection is the primary treatment modality, and immunotherapy is expected to be a new adjuvant treatment option. LEL-ICC with massive multinucleated giant cell infiltration has not been reported so far.

Hepatic lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is an extremely rare malignant tumor characterized by undifferentiated malignant epithelial cells and significant lymphatic infiltration. Hepatic LELC mainly includes lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma (LEL-HCC) and lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LEL-CC). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is considered as an important factor in LELC carcinogenesis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver, with several histological variants being reported in literature. Hereby, we describe a case of a 77-year-old man with chronic liver disease referred to our department for performing a computed tomography (CT) due to a liver mass discovered at an abdominal ultrasound follow-up. At CT, a large, ill-defined lesion in the third hepatic segment was detected, characterized by progressive and delayed enhancement with minimal retraction of the hepatic capsule, associated with perihepatic adipose tissue inhomogeneity, mimicking a cholangiocarcinoma.

Lymphocyte-rich hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the rarest subtype among the various subgroups of HCC, and limited clinical data are available for this particular subtype. It is commonly observed as a solitary lesion and tends to present at an early stage. Histopathological examination typically reveals tumor cells infiltrated by a lymphocyte-rich background, leading to its designation as lymphoepithelioma-like HCC.

Purpose: Lymphoepithelioma-like hepatic carcinoma (LELC) is a rare malignant liver tumor and its preoperative diagnosis is challenging. The aim of this study was to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of LELC in a single large center.
Methods: We conducted this retrospective analysis of 16 patients diagnosed with LELC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University between 2010 and 2022.
