The purpose of our study was to clarify the prognosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of the lung, which is rare. We analyzed the clinicopathologic features of 32 cases of pulmonary LELC and compared the cases with 84 cases of pulmonary non-LELC with available long-term follow-up information. The results show that LELC of the lung as a distinct entity has a better prognosis than non-LELC. We found a significant difference in the survival rates between patients with LELC and patients with non-LELC in stage II and stages III and IV, respectively. Tumor recurrence and necrosis (5% or more of tumor) are associated with a poor prognosis. It seems that the histologic typing (Regaud type and Schmincke type) of pulmonary LELC is of no clinical value.
