Abstract

Lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma (LELGC) has special clinicopathologic features that differentiate it from the common gastric adenocarcinoma. LELGC is a rare neoplasm of the stomach with an incidence of 1-4% of all gastric cancers and is characterized by desmoplastic stroma uniformaly infiltrated by abundant lymphocytes and plasma cells. LELGC is closely associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), with 80-100% of LELGC being EBV-positive. LELGC has a male predominance, occurs in elderly people and is usually located in the upper and middle portion of the stomach. We report a rare case of lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma located in the lesser curvature at the border of the gastric body to the pyloric antrum.
