Abstract

Amongst the various cystic lesions of oral cavity, Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is a rare cystic lesion that presents as an asymptomatic submucosal mass and is usually discovered during routine oral examinations. Most common site of occurence is the floor of the mouth but tonsillar involvement seems to be very rare. Pathogenesis involves the excessive accumulation of desquamated epithelial lining in the tonsillar crypt. This results in a dilated obstructed crypt of the palatine tonsil region which presents as a cystic lesion. Here we are reporting a case of 17 year old female with lymphoepithelial cyst of tonsil.

腭扁桃体淋巴上皮囊肿1例
在口腔的各种囊性病变中,淋巴上皮囊肿(LEC)是一种罕见的囊性病变,表现为无症状的粘膜下肿块,通常在口腔常规检查中发现。最常见的发生部位是口腔底部,但扁桃体的累及似乎是非常罕见的。发病机制涉及扁桃体隐窝中脱皮上皮衬里的过度积累。这导致腭扁桃体区域隐窝扩张阻塞,表现为囊性病变。我们在此报告一例17岁女性扁桃体淋巴上皮囊肿。
