Article Synopsis
- Lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) are rare, non-cancerous lumps that can form in the salivary glands and are surrounded by special tissue called lymphoid tissue.
- Diagnosing these cysts before surgery using a technique called fine-needle aspiration (FNA) can be tricky because sometimes they don’t show important cells in tests.
- A study looked at 13 patients with LECs and found that using the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) could help doctors better understand these cysts even though identifying them was tough.
