Benign lymphoepithelial lesion, also known as benign lymphoepithelial cyst, is a rare benign lesion of the head and neck.
It should not be confused the lymphoepithelial lesion found in the GI tract.
General
- Usually parotid gland.
- Associated with autoimmune disease, e.g. Sjoegren disease, may not remain benign.[1]
- May be seen in the context of HIV.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Lymphocytes.
- Ductal epithelial cells.[3]
Note:
- Must rule-out (MALT) lymphoma.
IHC
- CD20, CD3 -- mixed population.
- Kappa ~ lambda.
Sign out
Right Total Parotid Gland, Excision:
- Lymphoepithelial lesion/cyst, benign.
- Benign parotid gland.
- Two lymph nodes, NEGATIVE for malignancy (0/2).
Micro
The sections show a multiloculated cyst with thin walls containing bland lymphoid cells and unremarkable paucicellular fibrotic tissue. The lymphoid component has germinal centre formation. The cyst lining is predominantly a simple thin epithelium. Minimal cytoplasm is present in the cyst lining. Focally, the epithelium is multilayered; however, pseudo-bilayering is absent. No significant atypia is present. Proliferative activity is not apparent.
