Lymphoepithelial cysts are developmental, but their pathogenesis is unknown. The classical explanation is that they are derived from remnants of the branchial arches or clefts. This has been disputed, and it is likely that most arise from epithelium, possibly of tonsillar or salivary origin, that becomes entrapped by lymphoid tissue. This report describes a lymphoepithelial cyst in a 29-year-old man. The cyst was situated on the right side of the floor of the mouth adjacent to the lingual frenum. Its appearance supports both branchiogenic and the entrapment theories.
淋巴上皮囊肿是发育性的，但其发病机制尚不清楚。经典的解释是它们来源于鳃弓或鳃裂的残余物。这一观点存在争议，很可能大多数囊肿起源于上皮组织，可能来自扁桃体或唾液腺，被淋巴组织包裹。本报告描述了一名29岁男性的淋巴上皮囊肿。该囊肿位于口腔底部右侧，靠近舌系带。其外观支持鳃源性和包裹理论。
