AI Article Synopsis
- Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the stomach is a rare type of gastric cancer characterized by undifferentiated carcinoma and significant lymphoid infiltration, predominantly affecting men and often found in the upper stomach.
- Generally, this cancer shows fewer lymph node metastases and a better prognosis compared to other gastric cancers, but due to its rarity, there’s no standardized treatment protocol.
- A case study highlights successful treatment with a chemotherapy regimen that included two cycles of tegafur, gimeracil, oteracil, and oxaliplatin.
Article Abstract
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the stomach is a rare gastric tumour. Pathological features include undifferentiated carcinoma mixed with prominent stromal lymphoid infiltration. The incidence is significantly higher in men. Lesions occur more often in upper gastric locations, with lower numbers of lymph node metastases and better overall survival rates than other gastric carcinomas. Because of its rarity, standardised management is currently unavailable. A case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the stomach is presented that was successfully treated with chemotherapy consisting of only two cycles of tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil plus oxaliplatin. Key Words: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma, Stomach, Chemotherapy.
