Cystic lesions of the parotid gland are not common and are often erroneously diagnosed as benign tumors. Lymphoepithelial cysts are only rarely diagnosed in the parotid gland. The term "lymphoepithelial cyst" is used because it is a descriptive term and takes no account of the origin and development of these cysts. An origin from sequestered lymph nodes epithelium in the parotid gland may be a feasible explanation for the origin of these cysts.
腮腺的囊性病变并不常见，常被误诊为良性肿瘤。淋巴上皮囊肿在腮腺中仅很少被诊断出来。使用“淋巴上皮囊肿”这个术语是因为它是一个描述性术语，没有考虑这些囊肿的起源和发展。起源于腮腺中隔离的淋巴结上皮可能是这些囊肿起源的一个可行解释。
