%X Context: Lymphoepithelioma - like carcinoma of the bladder is an extremely rare tumour. We discuss through a new case and a review of the literature the pathological pattern and the management of this uncommon entity. Case report: We report the case of a 58 year-old man who presented with a macroscopic hematuria. Transurethral bladder resection was consistent with the diagnostic of a poorly differentiated carcinoma infiltrating the bladder's muscle. A radical cysto-prostatectomy was performed. The pathological examination revealed an EBV negative lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the bladder. Conclusion: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the bladder is a rare bladder cancer that is important to recognize since it has a favourable prognosis.
