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:

IHC

  • CD20, CD3 -- mixed population.
  • Kappa ~ lambda.

     - 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.
