Abstract :

BACKGROUND: FNAC is widely used technique in diagnosis of parotid lump as it is simple, quick, inexpensive, and minimally invasive technique. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in diagnosis of parotid mass. Parotid gland lesions form about 2–6.5% of all head & neck neoplasms in adults. They are easily accessible by FNAC , also cytology can provide distinction between parotid and non–parotid lesion , benign and malignant lesions, specific and non–specific inflammation. METHODS: 30 patients were studied prospectively over 1year , FNAC was done for parotid mass & parotid mass specimen sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological findings are compared. RESULTS: Out of 30 patients included in study 1. Overall male to female ratio 1:1.7 (male–11, female–19) 2. 21 cases pleomorphic adenoma(70%) 3. 2 cases warthin`s tumour(6.6%) 4. 2 cases basal cell adenoma(6.6%) 5. 1 case as chronic sialadenitis(3.3%) 6. 4 cases FNAC was pleomorphic adenoma , HPE of sent specimen came as mucoepidermoid carcinoma (13.3%) CONCLUSION: FNAC though cheap and safe but its diagnostic accuracy was 86.6%, can`t lead alone histological diagnosis, histopathological examination remained to be value for diagnostic conformation of parotid gland mass.
