What is a lymphoepithelial cyst?

A

Occurs when you get lymphoid tissue trapped in the oral mucosa and cyst formation

29
Q

Where does lymphoepithelial cysts occur?

A

Parotid gland
Lateral neck
Floor of mouth

30
Q

What is the histology of lymphoepithelial cyst?

A

Stratified squamous or pseudostratified epithelium
Entrapped by lymphoid tissue
Contains serous fluid with desquamated epithelium and lymphocytes

Q

Where do dermoid and epidermoid cysts occcur?

A

Many sites, including Floor of mouth
Intraoral or submental in midline

32
Q

What is the cause for dermoid and epidermoid cysts?

A

Epithelium enclavement during fusion of the mandibular and hyoid branchial arches

33
Q

What is the histology of dermoid and epidermoid cysts?

A

Orthokeratinised
Stratified squamous epithelium
With keratin debris in the lumen

34
Q

What does a dermoid cyst contain?

A

Skin appendages- hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, erector pili muscles

35
Q

How does dermoid and epidermoid cysts occur in other locations?

A

Anterior-lateral wall in sinus

40
Q

What is the symptoms of antral cyst?

A

Pain, swelling, pus discharge

41
Q

What is the reason for antral cysts occuring?

A

Most happen after surgery due to epithelial antral lining rests being left behind in surgery, and forming cysts.

42
Q

A

Developmental cyst
Epithelium entrapped in cervical lymph node

43
Q

Where does a branchial cyst occur?

A

45
Q

What does a branchial cyst look like?

A

Similar site and appearance to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma from primary oropharyngeal tumour

Q

How do you tell the difference between SCC and branchial cyst?

A

If the person is below 40-45, likely to be branchial cleft cyst.
If they are over 45-50, likely to be SCC.
