Abstract
|
|
|
|
Benign lymphoepithelial cysts (BLEC) are the most common cause of the parotid gland swelling in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients. The diagnosis of these HIV-associated BLEC is made based on history, physical examination, computerized tomography or magnetic resonance image, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The treatment is not established. We report the first case in Korea of a 43-year-old HIV-positive male with a 1-year history of enlargement in both parotid glands.
