Lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma (LELGC) is a rare neoplasm of the stomach with an incidence of 1-4% of all gastric cancers. It is characterized by the presence of a lymphoid stroma with cells arranged primarily in micro alveolar, thin trabecular, and primitive tubular patterns or isolated cells. It is one of the histological patterns observed in patients with Epstein - Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC). In situ hybridization was usually used to confirm the presence of EBV. There are two types of EBVaGC, LELGC, and ordinary type. Approximately, 15-25% of EBVaGC exhibit the LELGC pattern. Here, we described two cases of LELGC and the related literatures were reviewed as well. The two cases were submucosal mass from a 59- or 63-year-old man. We found LELGC has special clinicopathologic features and protein expression profile. This should promote us to make a true diagnosis.
淋巴上皮瘤样胃癌(LELGC)是一种罕见的胃部肿瘤,在所有胃癌中发病率为1%-4%。其特征是存在淋巴样间质,细胞主要呈微腺泡状、细小梁状和原始管状排列或呈孤立细胞状。它是在爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)相关胃癌(EBVaGC)患者中观察到的组织学模式之一。原位杂交通常用于确认EBV的存在。EBVaGC有两种类型,即LELGC和普通型。大约15%-25%的EBVaGC表现为LELGC模式。在此,我们描述了2例LELGC病例,并对相关文献进行了回顾。这2例均为来自一名59岁或63岁男性的黏膜下肿块。我们发现LELGC具有特殊的临床病理特征和蛋白表达谱。这应促使我们做出准确诊断。
