Bilateral intraosseous lymphoepithelial cyst of the mandible.

Abstract

A 29-year-old healthy patient was submitted for exploration of intraosseous, unicystic lesions of the mandibular angle distal to the wisdom tooth of both sides. Histological investigation of the enucleated cystic lesions revealed bilaterally developed lymphoepithelial cysts (LEC). Healing was uneventful and re-ossification of the bone complete. LEC are rarely diagnosed in oral tissues and usually located in the soft tissues. This report details the clinical, radiological and morphological findings of intraosseous LEC of the mandible.
