title: [Lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid gland. Its association with immunodeficiency virus infection].
abstract: Lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid gland are frequently associated with HIV disease. We describe a case of a patient positive for HIV antibodies, stade A2, and extracapsular, bilateral and symmetric lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid. The diagnosis was achieved by biopsy following a cervicotomy. A prior needle-biopsy procedure was disappointing. Literature review and discussion about the source and envolvement of those cysts linked to HIV-infection.
