Role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Salivary Gland Tumours in Correlation with Their Histopathology: A Two Year Prospective Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Background and objectives: Salivary gland tumours account for 2-6.5% of all the neoplasms of the head and neck. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is being increasingly used in the diagnosis of salivary gland tumours. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and the sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in various salivary gland tumours in correlation with their histopathology, which helps in the appropriate therapeutic management.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Frozen Section in Comparison With Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Thyroid Lesions – A Prospective Study
Background and Objectives: Thyroid gland because of its superficial location is amenable to direct physical examination. Clinical assessment of thyroid lesions by means of physical examination, thyroid scans and ultrasonography is not completely reliable. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the most cost-effective, safe and an initial diagnostic test in the pre-operative evaluation of thy...

متن کاملRisk-based Stratification of Salivary Gland Lesions on Cytology: An Institutional Experience
Background and objective: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary gland lesions is an accepted and useful diagnostic tool to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. Majority of the neoplasms are benign, and specific diagnosis on cytology can be made in most of the cases. However, the utility is limited by the overlapping and heterogeneous morphol...
متن کاملEvaluation of Soft Tissue Tumors by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Its Correlation with Histopathology: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Care Center
Background and objectives: Soft tissue is a non-epithelial extraskeletal tissue of the body. Soft tissue tumors (STTs) are the most commonly diagnosed neoplasms. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is minimally invasive, quick, and a definitive diagnostic modality. Biopsy for histopathology is the gold standard method for diagnosis but is invasive. The aims of this study were to determine th...
متن کاملAccuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology and frozen section histopathology for lesions of the major salivary glands.
INTRODUCTION Identifying malignancy either preoperatively or intraoperatively can have a significant impact on the management of salivary gland tumours. We review our experience with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and frozen section (FS) for salivary gland lesions. We analyse the accuracy of both modalities and their influence on management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review ...
