Abstract
Benign lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid are common
in retropositive patients, but extremely rare in HIV-negative
individuals. We present a 28-year-old man who presented with a
painless, gradually increasing swelling in the left parotid region
and was clinically diagnosed to have a pleomorphic adenoma of
the left parotid gland. Preoperative blood investigations revealed
that the patient was seronegative. He underwent a left superficial
parotidectomy and the histopathology report indicated a benign
lymphoepithelial cyst. The rarity of this lesion in a seronegative
patient is the main reason for reporting this case.
