“…The cases with columnar epithelium are usually dormant while those with squamous epithelium had purulent content and symptoms. [6] The characteristic histopathological pattern is that of glandular or squamous epithelium lined cleft surrounded www.pacificejournals.com/apalm eISSN: 2349-6983; pISSN: 2394-6466 by abundant lymphoid tissue with prominent germinal centers, with some specimens even containing salivary gland tissue a duct. [7] In 1989 Skouteris et al, reported that more than 90% of these cysts were lined by stratified squamous epithelium that might or might not be keratinized.…”

“…They are the tumor should occur in the line extending from anterior border of sternocleidomastoid to the clavicle, the histologic appearance should be consistent with an origin from tissue present in branchial vestigial, the patient must survive at least five years without development of other tumor that be regarded as primary and it must be demonstrated that cancer developed in the wall of an epithelial lined cyst situated in the lateral aspect of the neck. [7] Based on the location there are 4 types of cervical LEC [6] 1. Lying superficially beneath platysma and cervical fascia along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid.…”

Lymphoepithelial cysts are benign, slowly growing unilocular or multilocular lesions that appear in the head and neck region. They are also called branchial cysts and occur due to lymphocyte induced cystic ductular dilatation. The confirmatory diagnosis is always made on histopathological examination after resection. A 29 years old female patient presented to ENT department, Pt B. D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak with a soft to firm, non-tender, swelling in the submandibular region since 2 -3 days and was referred to Department of Pathology for FNAC on which a differential diagnosis of infected epidermoid cyst or squamous cell carcinoma was made and excision biopsy for confirmation and categorization was advised. The swelling was then excised and sent for histopathological examination and a final diagnosis of Lymphoepithelial cyst was made. The confirmatory diagnosis is always made postoperatively by histopathological examination. The treatment of a lymphoepithelial cyst is the surgical approach, which includes complete enucleation of the cyst. This is a case report of a lymphoepithelial cyst diagnosed on histopathology specimen for which differential of Infected cyst or Squamous cell carcinoma was given. The authors intend to highlight the importance of early histopathological diagnosis of Benign LEC as it has been reported to undergo malignant transformation

“…Originally referred to by Gold in 1962 as an intraoral branchial cyst, [11] the oral lymphoepithelial cyst (OLC) is a benign developmental lesion with a tendency for occurrence in the floor of the mouth and ventral-lateral tongue [12]. Within the oral cavity, aggregates of lymphoid tissue are naturally present in the area of Waldeyer's ring, specifically the lingual, pharyngeal, and palatine tonsils.…”

When faced with an uncertain clinical pathosis in the oral cavity, identifying the color of the mucosal lesion helps to narrow down a differential diagnosis. Although less common than red and white lesions, yellow lesions encompass a small group of distinct mucosal pathologic entities. Adipose tissue, lymphoid tissue, and sebaceous glands are naturally occurring yellow constituents of the oral cavity and become apparent with associated developmental or neoplastic lesions. Reactive and inflammatory lesions can create a yellow hue due to purulence, necrosis, and calcification. Some systemic diseases are known to deposit yellow bi-products such as amyloid or bilirubin into the oral mucosa of an affected person, and while not always yellow, unusual entities like verruciform xanthoma and granular cell tumor fall under the umbrella of yellow lesions given their occasional propensity to demonstration the color. This chapter aims to explore the unique group that is yellow lesions presenting in the oral mucosa.
