Diagnosis in short

Urinary bladder lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma. H&E stain.
LM squamoid cells with abundant dense cytoplasm central nuclei +/- small/indistinct nucleoli, prominent lymphoid infiltrate
Subtypes subtype of urothelial carcinoma
LM DDx lymphoma, urothelial carcinoma and inflammation, metastatic lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma
IHC CK34betaE12 +ve, p63 +ve/-ve, CK7 +ve/-ve, CK20 -ve, CD30 -ve

Prevalence rare
Other not associated with EBV

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the urinary bladder, also urinary bladder lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (abbreviated UBLELC), is a rare variant of urothelial carcinoma.[1]

General

  • Rare.
  • Not associated with EBV.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Clusters of (cohesive) squamoid cells with:
    • Abundant dense cytoplasm.
    • Central nuclei +/- small/indistinct nucleoli.
    • Surrounded by a prominent lymphoid component - key feature.
  • +/-Urothelial carcinoma in situ.

DDx:
