Abstract:
We describe two rare cervical tumors having morphologic features closely resembling those of the nasopharyngeal lymphoepithelioma. This entity has historically been classified as a subtype of squamous cell carcinoma, but after reviewing the literature and the two cases presented here, we propose that this tumor is a distinct carcinoma of the cervix that differs from squamous cell carcinoma in that it carries a more favorable prognosis, typically affects a younger population of women, is more prevalent in noncaucasian populations (especially those of Asian descent), and lacks a clearly defined association with infection due to human papilloma virus (HPV).
