Abstract
First brachial cleft cyst arise due to incomplete fusion of first and second brachial arches. It is classified into type 1, which is thought to arise from the duplication of the membranous external ear canal and are composed of ectoderm only, and type 2 that have both ectoderm and mesoderm which presents as parotid swelling. As it is rare it is easily misdiagnosed and mismanaged. First branchial cleft cyst are rare causes of parotid swellings as in this case reports.

Abstract
Most lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) occur in the salivary glands and are considered one of the autoimmune syndromes caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this report, we present a case of pulmonary LEC without prior HIV infection, paying special attention to radiographic features. A chest radiograph revealed an oval mass with a smooth surface, localized in the left lower lung field, which was in direct contact with the diaphragm. Computed tomography showed an oval homogenous mass with a smooth surface in the lower left lobe. Further, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the mass was a homogeneous internal structure with a smooth surface and a slightly high signal in T2-weighted images and a slightly low signal in T1-weighted images. Surgical resection was performed, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a pulmonary LEC. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of pulmonary LECs without prior HIV infection have been reported in the literature to date, therefore, the case presented here is considered very rare and informative.

Abstract
We report an evidence-based management algorithm for benign lymphoepithelial cysts (BLEC) of the parotid glands in HIV patients based on long-term outcomes after radiation therapy. From 1987 to 2013, 72 HIV-positive patients with BLEC of the parotid glands treated at our institutions were identified and their medical records were reviewed and analyzed. The primary endpoint of our study was to determine a dose response in HIV patients with BLEC. In group A (≤18 Gy), which received a median dose of 10 Gy (8-18), overall response (OvR), complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and local failure (LF) was experienced by 7, 7, 0, and 93 %, respectively. In group B (≥22.5 Gy), which received a median dose of 24 Gy (22.5-30), OvR, CR, PR, and LF was experienced by 88, 65, 23, and 12 %. Logistic regression revealed that higher dose (≥22.5 Gy) predicted for cosmetic control (p = 0.0003). Multiple regression analysis revealed higher dose predicted for cosmetic control (p = 0.0001) after adjusting for confounding variables (age, gender, race, HAART use, BLEC duration, and fractionation size). No patients in either group experienced RTOG grade ≥3 toxicities. A radiation dose of 24 Gy delivered in 12-16 fractions of 1.5-2 Gy per fraction provides long-term cosmetic control in HIV-positive patients with BLEC of the parotid glands.

Abstract
Cystic lesions within the parotid gland are uncommon and clinically they are frequently misdiagnosed as tumours. Many theories have been proposed as to their embryological origin. A 20-year retrospective review was undertaken of all pathological codes (SNOMED) of all of patients presenting with any parotid lesions requiring surgery. After analysis seven subjects were found to have histopathologically proven parotid branchial cysts in the absence of HIV infection and those patients are the aim of this review. Four of the most common embryological theories are also discussed with regard to these cases, as are their management.

Abstract
The authors review the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment modalities for salivary gland enlargement in an HIV-infected population. Because this can occasionally be the presenting clinical symptom of HIV infection, it is important for the oral/maxillofacial surgeon to diagnose and manage HIV salivary gland enlargement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The objectives of this study are to present a series of parotid gland benign lymphoepithelial cysts (BLEC) in HIV-positive children and to propose a three-tiered classification system for HIV-associated lymphocytic parotid gland enlargement. STUDY DESIGN The authors conducted a retrospective case series and literature review. METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of four pediatric patients with HIV-associated parotid gland BLEC who presented to a tertiary care university medical center. RESULTS Four pediatric HIV-positive patients (four girls; age range, 7-17 years [mean age, 12.8 years]) were diagnosed with parotid gland BLEC. Two patients presented with acute parotitis and the others presented with asymptomatic enlargement of the parotid glands. Three patients had bilateral parotid gland BLEC. The other patient demonstrated persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL) of the intraparotid and cervical lymph nodes and early BLEC limited to the left parotid gland. One patient also displayed parotid gland microcalcifications and cystic changes in the adenoids, neither of which have been described previously in the setting of HIV-associated BLEC. Computed tomography was performed on all patients, and one patient underwent fine needle aspiration to confirm the diagnosis. All patients opted for observation and antiretroviral medication therapy as long-term treatment. Based on these findings and a review of the literature, we propose a three-tiered classification system for lymphocytic parotid gland enlargement in the HIV population: 1) PGL, 2) benign lymphoepithelial lesions (BLEL), and 3) BLEC. CONCLUSIONS This series equals the largest pediatric series of HIV-associated parotid gland BLEC in the English literature. One patient in our series also demonstrated PGL; there were no cases of BLEL. A classification system based on morphology is proposed to help resolve the confusion in terminology used to describe this entity. Most pediatric HIV-infected patients with parotid gland BLEC can be treated with observation and antiretroviral medication therapy. For others, who are symptomatic or more concerned about their cosmetic appearance, sclerotherapy may offer a reasonable option. Radiation therapy and surgery should be reserved for select cases.
