Enucleation of parotid lymphoepithelial cyst in patients who are human immunodeficiency virus positive.
The incidence of benign lymphoepithelial lesions of the parotid gland in patients afflicted with HIV has increased. Enucleation is a safe and effective procedure that provides the patient with complete removal of the cyst and a low recurrence rate. Enucleation of these parotid cysts should be considered in treating these patients.
