AI Article Synopsis
- Cervical lymphoepithelial or branchial cleft cysts are benign tumors found in the neck, and they are relatively rare.
- A case study of a 70-year-old woman with a painless neck mass revealed a cervical cyst, which was confirmed through radiological investigation and treated with complete surgical removal.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, as these cysts can often be misdiagnosed, underscoring the importance of surgical excision.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The cervical lymphoepithelial or branchial cleft cyst are benign dysembryologic cystic tumors developing in the anterolateral region of the neck. They are relatively uncommon anomalies.The aims of this study are to analyze the anatomoclinical features and to discuss the modalities of care for the management of this disease.
Presentation Of Case: We report a case of a 70 years-old woman who was admitted to our department with a complaint of painless mass in the right supraclavicular region. Clinical examination and radiological investigations found a mass compatible with cervical cyst. Treatment consisted of the complete resection of the cyst. histopathological examination found a Cervical lymphoepithelial cyst.
Conclusion: The cervical lymphoepithelial can be easily misdiagnosed. It is imperative that clinicians make an accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment (that is, surgical excision).

Article Synopsis
- * This review examines existing research on the prognostic implications of HNSCC’s histopathologic subtypes, noting a lack of studies focusing specifically on treatment outcomes for each subtype.
- * The review highlights that some subtypes, like verrucous and cuniculatum, have better prognoses compared to others like basaloid and spindle cell, and it emphasizes the need for more molecular research to develop targeted therapies and improve prognostic assessments.

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the submandibular gland is an extremely rare condition; therefore, no clear clinical features or established treatment is available for this. A 58-year-old Japanese man who came to our hospital with the complaint of swelling of the left submandibular region was diagnosed with stage IVa, T4aN2bM0 lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the submandibular gland. We also examined the relationship between the tumor and Epstein-Barr virus by Epstein-Barr virus encoded ribonucleoprotein in situ hybridization.

Article Synopsis
- A 48-year-old man experienced neck swelling in the parotid region for 2 years, with normal results from diagnostic tests like nasal endoscopy and video laryngeal stroboscopy.
- After excising the parotid lesion for analysis, a PCR test confirmed tuberculosis, common in South Asia, while EBV testing was also positive.
- The final diagnosis determined was primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma co-occurring with tuberculosis, leading to the patient starting antitubercular treatment.

Tonsillectomy with steroid pulse therapy (SPT) has been established as an effective treatment for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in Japan. However, the underlying mechanisms supporting tonsillectomy remain unclear. This study assessed palatine tonsils from 77 patients with IgAN, including 14 and 63 who received SPT before and after tonsillectomy, respectively.

Background/aim: The parotid is the largest salivary gland and is located anteriorly to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and laterally to the ramus of the mandible. Neoplasms in this gland are relatively rare, with 80% being benign and 20% malignant, primarily represented by mucoepidermoid carcinoma. In the head and neck region, lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) accounts for 0.
