A total enucleation of the lesion was realized using a surgical curette (Figure 2).
A = Photograph showing macroscopic aspects of the lesion.. B = Histopathologic view of the lesion shows one cystic cavity only; the
capsule of fibrous tissue showed several bleeding areas and absence of
inflammation (hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification x25).. C = Histopathologic view of the lesion shows epithelium lining rich in cells
with glycogen (hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification
x100).. D = Histopathologic view of the lesion shows PAS positive clear cells (PAS
x100).
