Abstract:
Gastric lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is a very rare cancer of the stomach. It has undifferentiated malignant cells with rich lymphoid stroma histologically and its prognosis has known to be relatively fair. Recently, there were some reports on the successful removal of the lesion by endoscopic submucosal dissection technique. We present a case of 70 years old man who had 2 cm sized early gastric cancer of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with perigastric lymph node metastasis, and also review the relevant medical literature.
