[Prognostic and therapeutic aspects of lympho-epithelial lesions of the parotid. Apropos of 8 cases].
1990
The so-called benign lympho-epithelial lesion (BLEL) of the parotid is a rare condition. Its diagnosis is based on histology. For a long time there have been problems with its classification and prognosis: classification since certain cases may be classified as Sjogren's syndrome or as a precursor of the latter, prognosis there may be recurrence, contralateral involvement or progression to non-hodgkin's lymphoma. The authors discuss these factors in 8 cases and propose total parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation as the treatment of choice.
