[Benign lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid in a patient with HIV infection].
We report on a HIV-positive patient presenting bilateral enlargement of the parotid gland. The ultrasound examination demonstrated multiple lesions with cystic aspect. A partial surgical excision of the parotid gland was performed, and histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of a cystic benign lymphoepithelial lesion. The specimens which were tested for Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus by in situ hybridization proved negative. The clinical and pathologic features of this unusual salivary gland lesion which affects HIV-positive patients are discussed.
