Abstract
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the uterine cervix is very rare. A 71-year-old woman, who had cervical cancer stage IB, presented lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma pathologically. The neoplasm revealed an undifferentiated, nonkeratinizing carcinoma, which contained prominent vesicular nucleoli histologically. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and HPV-16 DNA were demonstrated in cancer cells when using polymerase chain reaction. The patient underwent a radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection and bilateral salpingooophorectomy. Her postoperative course was uneventful. The literature and pathologic findings are reviewed and discussed.
