Background and Clinical Significance: Lymphoepithelial cysts are uncommon benign lesions of the head and neck, rarely encountered within the oral cavity and exceedingly infrequent in the palatine tonsils. Their nonspecific clinical presentation and ability to mimic more common benign entities often render diagnosis challenging. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with a four-year history of persistent foreign-body sensation in the oropharynx despite multiple normal otolaryngologic examinations. Flexible nasoendoscopy was non-diagnostic, as the lesion was deeply concealed within the superior tonsillar pole between the palatine pillars. Targeted tonsillar manipulation ultimately revealed a small pedunculated mass and contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a well-circumscribed, non-enhancing cystic lesion confined to the tonsillar parenchyma. Surgical excision under general anesthesia confirmed an oral lymphoepithelial cyst on histopathologic analysis. The patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence at four months. Conclusions: This case underscores the rarity of tonsillar lymphoepithelial cysts, highlights the diagnostic limitations of endoscopic evaluation for cryptic superior-pole lesions and emphasizes the importance of meticulous dynamic oropharyngeal examination. Complete surgical excision is both definitive and curative, with an excellent prognosis.
