Parotid lymphoepithelial cyst is an unusual morbid entity which incidence has been increased lately because of its association to early stages of HIV infection. We report the case of an heterosexual man, 39, ex-addicted to parenteral drugs, HIV positive, stage C3. Its left parotid gland presented with a lump of low rate growth which was with fine needle punctured and aspirate for biopsy and after followed by the mass removal. Cytological and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis (lymphoepithelial cyst). The aim for our work is to explain the clinic and pathological features of this condition and emphasize the fact of its possible presentation in positive HIV patients in advanced stages.
