A rare case of oral lymphoepithelial cyst in an hiv-positive patient: a true association or an occasional finding?
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology(2022)
摘要
The relationship between infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and oral lymphoepithelial cyst (OLC) is uncertain. Herein, we presented a rare case of OLC on the tongue in a male patient with HIV. Intraoral examination revealed a yellow nodular lesion with a smooth surface on the tongue's right lateral border measuring 0.8 cm. Medical history revealed that the patient had been diagnosed with HIV 1 month earlier and was being treated with antiretroviral therapy. An excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic examination showed a cystic lesion covered by squamous epithelium surrounded by a fibrous capsule containing dense lymphoid infiltrate with prominent germinal centers. The diagnosis was OLC. No evidence of recurrence was observed after 1 year of follow-up. Although rare, OLC can arise in the context of HIV infection. The treatment of choice is conservative surgical removal, and recurrence is uncommon.
