“…BLEC is a slow-growing tumor not associated with recurrence or metastasis[ 5 - 8 ]. The main symptom of this disease is a slowly growing, painless swollen mass, often combined with local symptoms such as dysphagia, dysphagia, dyspnea and stridor, and secondary infection can manifest as acute inflammatory symptoms, such as redness, swelling and fever[ 3 , 8 ].…”

BACKGROUND Benign lymphoepithelial cyst (BLEC) of the parotid gland is a rare benign embryonic-dysplastic cystic tumor in the anterolateral neck that occurs most commonly in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive adults and rarely in non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients. The main presentation is a slow-growing, painless mass, and secondary infection may cause acute inflammatory symptoms. CASE SUMMARY A 44-year-old Chinese male patient presented with a 1-year history of a mass in the left side of the neck. On physical examination, a mass similar in size and shape to a quail egg was found in the left parotid gland. The mass was tough, without tenderness, and easily moveable. The results of HIV tests, including antibody and nucleic acid tests and CD4+ T cell examination, were negative. Imaging examination revealed a left parotid gland mass. The patient underwent surgical treatment, and BLEC was diagnosed based on postoperative pathology. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient survived well without related discomfort. CONCLUSION The detailed characteristics of a BLEC in a patient without HIV infection contribute to an improved understanding of this rare disease.

“…The second characteristic of sternoclavicular sinus not conforming to dermoid sinus was ciliated columnar epithelium or salivary gland being detected histologically in the specimen. The salivary gland and ciliated epithelium are endodermal origin and they can present in the branchial remnant fistula [ 19 ].…”

Background Sinus near the sternoclavicular joint was considered as a rare congenital neck abnormality. Though it was reported as a dermoid sinus in some literatures, the embryological origin of the sinus was unclear. This study aimed at reviewing the clinical and histological characteristics and analyzing the possible embryological origin of this malformation in children. Methods The medical records of all patients with congenital sternoclavicular sinus who underwent surgical resection between March 2018 through June 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical presentations, complications, histological examination, and treatment were analyzed. Results Of the 88 patients with congenital sternoclavicular sinus included, the mean age of surgery was 2.73 ± 1.71 years old. The sinuses occurred on the left side in 73 (83.0%) cases. Sixty-three patients experienced sinus infection and 44 patients underwent incision and drainage before excision. All patients received surgical resection with one patient who recurred after surgery. Histopathological examination showed that the sinuses were lined by squamous epithelium in most patients. However, ciliated epithelium was observed in one patient and salivary glands were detected in two patients. Conclusions The congenital sternoclavicular sinus should be excised promptly to prevent recurrent infection. According to the ciliated epithelium and salivary gland were found in the wall of sinus, it should be viewed as the skin side remnant of the fourth branchial cleft rather than a dermoid cyst/sinus.
