Benign lymphoepithelial cyst is an uncommon lesion that usually occurs in the parotid gland or lateral cervical area, including the lymph nodes. In adults, It often reveals an HIV infection. Very few cases in children are reported in the literature. We report the case of a girl, aged 7 years, who consulted for bilateral parotid swelling. Parotid ultrasound and MRI revealed multilocular cystic lesions of both parotids suggestive of lymphoepithelial cysts, who had objectified multiloculate cystic lesions in both parotid. Confirmed by anatomopathological study of the superficial parotidectomy part. The search for anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2 antibodies requested postoperatively came back positive. The patient was referred for care and follow-up in a specialized service.
