Lymphoepithelioma of the bladder is rare and has only recently been described at this site. Based upon the reported sensitivity to chemotherapy of lymphoepitheliomas at more common sites, we treated 3 cases of muscle invasive lymphoepithelioma of the bladder with primary chemotherapy to salvage bladder function.
