“…Based on these criteria, a final cohort of 18 183 UUT‐UC patients was included in the present analysis. Additionally, the PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched to identify relevant studies examining LELC of the upper urinary tract from database inception until March 2022 ( n = 39) [ 8 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. The main search terms included: ‘lymphoepithelioma‐like carcinoma’, ‘ureter’, ‘renal pelvis’, ‘upper tract urothelial carcinoma’, ‘upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma’, ‘prognosis’, ‘survival’, and ‘case report’.…”

carcinogenesis of primary LELC may be due to different genetic variations, including single-nucleotide variants, insertion and deletions, structural variations, and repeat regions, which may provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The prognosis of LELC in the upper urinary tract is similar to that of UUT-UC. We suggest that the focal subtype can serve as a prognostic factor for LELC of the upper urinary tract; however, further studies are required to confirm this.

Rationale: Pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PLELC) is a rare type of primary malignant lung tumor characterized by Epstein-Barr virus infection, with, to the authors’ knowledge, a total of only 500 reported cases during the past 30 years worldwide. Histologically, PLELC is similar to undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. However, although PLELC accounts for <1% of all lung cancers, it has a better prognosis and is usually detected in non-smokers and individuals of Asian ancestry. Patient concerns: The patient presented with chest distress of no apparent cause, dizziness, headaches, and a feeling of disequilibrium without remission, as well as a pulmonary nodule incidentally detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Diagnosis: PLELC was confirmed histopathologically rather than on preoperative CT; nevertheless, CT findings still contributed to the diagnosis. Interventions: The patient underwent thoracoscopic wedge resection of the affected lung. Outcomes: The patient recovered after the lung nodule was completely removed, and was discharged. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was found at the latest follow-up appointment 2 months after the operation. Lessons: PLELC is a rare bronchogenic carcinoma associated with lymphatic tissue with a favorable prognosis in most cases. With nonspecific clinical symptoms, specific radiological findings may facilitate an early diagnosis in some cases, followed by timely surgical intervention.
