Abstract

Benign lymphoepithelial cyst (BLEC) or better known as cystic lymphoid hyperplasia is a lesion of the bilateral parotid glands and upper cervical lymph nodes, painless and enlarges slowly. BLEC is defined as a single or multiple cysts in the lymph nodes of the parotid gland. The typical clinical sign that is often found is bilateral painless enlargement of the parotid, enlarged gradually with diffuse cervical lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of HIV-associated BLEC can be formed from blood tests with HIV immunoserology and anatomical pathology in patients with asymptomatic enlargement of the parotid gland. In this case, we reported a 54-year-old male patient with HIV infection will be discussed and diagnosed with HIV-associated BLEC through an anatomical pathology biopsy examination.
