Abstract

We report a case of a 79-year-old Tunisian woman who presented with post-coital bleeding. A polypoïd mass of the cervix was discovered. Histopathological examination of the specimen biopsy showed a squamous-cell carcinoma. The patient underwent radical resection. The definitive diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the cervix was retained after histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. There was no local involvement and no metastasis. The lymphoepitheloma-like carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare entity with distinct morphological features and a usually good prognosis.
