Abstract:
Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC), an undifferentiated carcinoma with intense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, is commonly reported in the nasopharynx and occasionally in other organs. Pure type of LELC has previously been reported in the gallbladder. Mixed type could be reportable in comparison with other organs. Here we present a case of an 83-year-old man with mixed LELC and adenocarcinoma in the gallbladder. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of mixed LELC and adenocarcinoma in the gallbladder.
