A 70-year-old patient who presented with a mass on the dorsum of his nose of 2 years evolution is reported. Histologically it was formed by dermal nests and cords of atypical epithelial cells surrounded by an intense inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes and histiocytes of an usual aspect. The lesion was removed, relapsing 2 years later. The ultrastructural and immunohistochemical results are discussed. We compare another six cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma, reported in the literature. The differential diagnosis with other related conditions is discussed together with its possible adnexal origin.

The morphologic diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is typically straight forward. However, there are certain subtypes of CRC that pose diagnostic challenges for daily practice due to sometimes overlapping morphologic and immunohistochemical features. These subtypes include poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma NOS, in the absence of conventional morphology (PDA-NOS), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), medullary carcinoma (MC), undifferentiated carcinoma (UC) and lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC).

Background: Primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PLELC) is a rare subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of perioperative PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in stage II-IIIB PLELC patients.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included stage II-IIIB PLELC patients.

Objective: Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy has been a promising choice for patients with locally advanced non-small cell cancer (NSCLC). However, whether neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy impacted the subsequent surgical or pathological outcomes of patients with pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PLELC) remains relatively unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in PLELC patients.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a primary liver malignancy with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is an exceedingly rare variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that histologically resembles nasopharyngeal carcinoma, previously known as lymphoepithelioma. It was first reported by Hsu et al in 1996 and they were able to show the presence of Epstein-Barr virus in tumor cells.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), historically termed 'lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma' due to its rich lymphocyte infiltration, benefit from PD-1 blockade treatment. However, a comprehensive understanding of its tumor microenvironment (TME) remains elusive, hindering the identification of effective biomarkers for immunotherapy. We leveraged multimodal profiling data, including gene expression, immunohistochemistry, and multiplex immunohistochemistry, from three independent cohorts of NPC patients with a total of 327 patients to dissect the TME in NPC.
