lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma

Lymphoepithelioma-like hepatocellular carcinoma (LEL-HCC) is an uncommon variant of HCC with only 22 cases reported in the literature in 2014.

LEL-HCC is an independent prognostic factor for overall and progression-free survivals.

LEL-HCC does not differ in frequencies of microsatellite instability, BRAF mutation, and DNA hypermethylation.

LEL-HCC is a distinct uncommon variant of HCC characterized by dense cytotoxic T-cell infiltration and favorable prognosis.
