Abstract
Benign lymphoepithelial cysts of parotid gland were first described by Miculicz in 1888, have been presented for a long time, uncommonly. But, recently it has been reported with increasing frequency since the onset of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Benign lymphoepithelial cysts can be diagnosed by the fine needle aspiration in conjunction with the history and physical examination. The therapeutic options of benign lymphoepithelial cysts have been limited to aspiration, surgical resection, medical therapy, radiotherapy and sclerotherapy. Recently, we experienced a case of benign lymphoepithelial cyst of right parotid gland, so we report this case with review of the literatures.
