Lymphoepithelioma-like Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix: Cytomorphologic Features and Diagnostic Pitfalls by Liquid-Based Cytology

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare variant of cervical squamous cell carcinoma with unclear HPV and EBV association. Due to the accompanying and often obscuring lymphocytic inflammation, malignant cells may be difficult to recognize on cytologic samples and can mimic several more common benign and atypical cervical lesions. In this case report, we describe the cytomorphologic findings of LELC by liquid-based cytology in a 59-year-old Caucasian woman who was positive for high risk HPV but had no visible cervical lesions. We also discuss the differential diagnosis, diagnostic pitfalls, and practical considerations for diagnosis.
