Abstract :
Lymphoepithelial cysts (Branchial cysts) are dysodontogenic benign cysts and are known for their slow growing potential in the head and neck region commonly involving salivary gland sites. The size rarely exceeds 0.6 cm in diameter at the time of diagnosis. This cyst has been reported to occur in addition to other lesions such as geographic tongue, epidermoid cysts. The treatment of choice is surgical excision.
