Doxycycline sclerotherapy of benign lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid: a minimally invasive treatment.
Benign lymphoepithelial cysts (BLCs) of the parotid gland are associated with human immunodeficiency virus infections in both children and adults. These cysts may become painful and unsightly, often initiating a request for therapeutic intervention. There are several treatment options described in the literature. We report the use of doxycycline sclerotherapy in the treatment of a child with BLCs of the parotid.
