Mahendranath P, Vijay Kumark

Abstract :

 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation of cytological findings with histopathological findings in parotid gland tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective analytical study of 36 patients with parotid gland tumours subjected to fine needle aspiration and surgical excision during the period of January 2007 to August 2008. RESULTS : Positive histological results occurred in 32 cases(88.8%) and negative correlation occurred in 4 cases(11.2%) with sensitivity for benign tumours being 96.6% and 50% for malignant tumours. CONCLUSION :Despite the limitations ofFine needle aspiration in parotid gland tumours, it is an effective method in evaluating and therapeutic planning with safe and negligible complications.
