چکیده
from 0.3% to 1.3% of all bladder cancers [2-4]. The primary urothelial LELC was described for the first time by Zukerberg et al. in 1991 [5]. Until 2014, only 93 cases with LELCB were reported. Most cases of LELCB occurred in their seventh decade with male predominance [1,6]. The presenting symptoms of LELCB were similar to urothelial carcinomas. Gross hematuria and irritative voiding disorders were the most common complaints of these patients.

Lymphoepithelial - like carcinoma, is rarely recognized in the urinary bladder and less commonly occurs with papillary transitional cell carcinoma i.e. mixed pattern. Also, less uncommon is the occurrence of carcinoma in situ changes in the adjacent urothelium of these tumors.

Urinary Bladder Cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease with diverse morphologic and clinical manifestations. Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the urinary bladder (LELCB) is rare form of BC with no standard therapies. Thus, novel therapies based on underlying tumor biology are needed. Molecular profiling can be used to detect mutational load and molecular subtypes of tumors, which may help in...
