Cystic lymphoepithelial lesions of the parotid gland in HIV-1 infection.
The benign cystic lymphoepithelial lesion (BLL) of the parotid gland is a rare disorder affecting HIV-1-infected patients. Here we describe the clinical and histopathological features of 10 cases of BLL, who presented to our observation between November 1992 and December 1996, before the combination antiretroviral therapy was introduced.
