A Rare Case of Multiple Bilateral Lymphoepithelial Cysts of Palatine Tonsils.

Lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) are benign developmental cysts of the lymphoid tissue. LEC of palatine tonsils is a rare entity. However, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tonsillar enlargement, especially if it is unilateral involvement. The management ranges from conservative observation to surgical resection. Here, we report a case of multiple LECs involving both palatine tonsils for which bilateral tonsillectomy was done. The patient was followed up for six months without any recurrence of similar pathology in the tonsillar region.
