Lymphoepithelioma-like Carcinoma of the Stomach: A Case Successfully Treated with Chemotherapy

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.
