Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) occurring in the reproductive organs is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma, and this tumor of the uterine cervix accounts for 0.7% of all primary cervical uterine neoplasms. It differs from the usual squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in its morphology and clinical behavior. We report a case of LELC of cervix (FIGO stage IIB) in a 51 year old woman who presented with three months history of postcoital bleeding per vaginum and was treated primarily with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), and brachytherapy. The prognosis of uterine lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is thought to be better than those of other cervical cancer types, but careful follow-up at fixed intervals is recommended. The patient has been followed up for 9 months since the end of radiation therapy, during which time there has been no evidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis.
