Abstract

Gastric lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare disease with a good prognosis. Submucosal LELC is very rare and difficult to diagnose by endoscopic biopsy. Endoscopic ultrasonography is the best modality for diagnosing submucosal tumors. Submucosal LELC can be confused with benign submucosal tumors. Here, we report a case of a submucosal gastric lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma.
