“…In agreement with the present study, most lesions are diagnosed in young adults [29], with the mean age ranging from 27.6 to 39.8 years [25,28]. Although oral lymphoepithelial cysts may develop wherever normal or accessory lymphoid tissue is present [30], the most common site is the floor of the mouth, accounting for 50 to 80.9% of all cases, followed by the tongue and soft palate [25,27,28]. In contrast, in the present study a higher frequency of lymphoepithelial cysts was observed in the tongue, followed by the oropharynx and floor of the mouth.…”

“…However, in the present series oral lymphoepithelial cysts were the third most frequent nOC. Regarding gender, previous studies have reported a male predominance [25,27] or a discrete predominance among females [28].

The aim of the study was to determine the distribution of histologically diagnosed nonodontogenic cysts (nOCs) over a 40-year period in a Brazilian population. Biopsy records from patients with nOC from the files of the Oral Pathology Service during the period of 1970-2009 were evaluated. Among 10,311 oral biopsies, 58 met the criteria of nOCs. The most frequent nOCs were nasopalatine duct cysts (32.8%), followed by epidermoid cysts (20.7%) and oral lymphoepithelial cysts (17.2%). Nasopalatine duct cysts showed predominance among females (68.4%). Epidermoid cysts were most commonly found in the floor of the mouth (36.4%), tongue (27.3%), and buccal mucosa (27.3%). Oral lymphoepithelial cysts exhibited female prevalence (80.0%) and were commonly located in the tongue (44.4%). The frequency of nOCs found in the population studied here is slightly different from those reported in other case series. Nasopalatine duct cysts, epidermoid cysts, and oral lymphoepithelial cysts were the most common nOCs found, accounting for 70.7% of all nOCs.

“…Branchial cleft cysts, which are characterized by swelling in the upper third of the lateral neck anterior to the ster-nocleidomastoid muscle [4], have also been reported to be located at unusual sites, such as oral cavity, parotid gland, and pancreas [6][7][8] . The histogenesis of branchial cleft cysts is unclear, but is generally assumed to be a developmental abnormality originating from branchial cleft remnants.…”

Abstract.We report a case of branchial cleft-like cysts (intrathyroidal lymphoepithelial cysts) associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Palpation did not detect any nodules. Multiple cystic lesions were detected in the lateral side of the thyroid bilateral lobes by imagings of an I-123 scintigram, T1-201 scintigram, sonography, and computerized tomography.Sonography displayed multiple cysts with strong echogenic spots in the cystic fluid. Repeated fine needle aspiration biopsies of the cysts consistently revealed only normal lymphocytes.Although these lesions could not be given diagnosis, subtotal thyroidectomy leaving the intact isthmus was performed.Microscopic findings revealed multiple branchial cleft-like cysts lined by flattened epithelial cells. Surrounding the epithelial lining were dense lymphoid follicles with large, reactive germinal centers. The remaining thyroid parenchyma showed Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Multiple branchial cleft-like cysts should be considered when sonographic examination reveals multiple cysts in the lateral side of the bilateral lobes, and fine needle aspiration biopsy displays only normal lymphocytes.To our knowledge, this is the first case of branchial cleft-like cysts associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis reported in Japan.

“…O cisto linfoepitelial oral é uma lesão incomum, cuja patogênese permanece incompletamente elucidada (1,3,4,(7)(8)(9)15) . De acordo com Knapp (12) , os cistos linfoepiteliais orais seriam decorrentes de obstrução na cripta de uma tonsila oral, na qual se acumulariam células epiteliais descamadas e/ou material purulento.…”

Introdução: O cisto linfoepitelial oral é uma lesão incomum, assintomática e de pequenas dimensões, geralmente descoberto durante exames de rotina da cavidade bucal. Objetivo: Relatar quatro casos de cisto linfoepitelial oral, confrontando seus aspectos com aqueles reportados em outros 119 casos publicados na literatura. Relato dos casos: Três casos em mulheres, com idade entre 16 e 23 anos, e um caso em homem, com 45 anos, caracterizados por nódulos assintomáticos, de pequenas dimensões e coloração variando do branco ao amarelado. Dois casos estavam localizados na superfície ventral da língua, um em assoalho bucal e outro em orofaringe. Histologicamente, as lesões revelaram cavidade cística contendo quantidade variável de células epiteliais descamadas, revestida por epitélio pavimentoso estratificado, predominantemente paraceratinizado, de interface plana com o tecido conjuntivo. A cápsula fibrosa exibiu um denso infiltrado linfocítico, com identificação de centros germinativos em apenas dois casos. Conclusão: A análise conjunta dos casos apresentados neste trabalho e de outros 119 casos relatados na literatura revela que os cistos linfoepiteliais orais exibem predileção pelo gênero masculino, com ápice de incidência na terceira década de vida. Em geral, essas lesões se apresentam como pequenos nódulos assintomáticos localizados no assoalho bucal. Histologicamente, a maioria dos casos revela epitélio cístico com padrão de maturação paraceratinizado e exibe centros germinativos na cápsula fibrosa.
