Case report reveals clinical features of lymphoepithelial cyst in a young patient, suggesting better diagnostic approaches.
Lymphoepithelial cysts are rare congenital malformations caused by abnormal development of the second branchial cleft. The diagnosis is confusing with several other etiologies given the localization. We report the case of a 17-year-old patient with a lymphoepithelial cyst, giving us the opportunity to review its clinical and anatomical features, diagnostic methods and treatment options.
