Background: A wide variety of benign and malignant tumours originate in the salivary glands and insufficient tumour cells make their diagnosis difficult in some patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions and to correlate cytological findings with histopathology. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study done from September 2002 to May 2004. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed in 58 patients with clinically significant salivary gland masses. Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology categorized 67.24% of the salivary gland lesions as neoplastic and 32.76% as non-neoplastic lesions. Amongst the neoplastic lesions, 76.9% were benign and 23.1% were malignant cases. Histopathological examination revealed that 81.05% of the cases were benign and 18.95% were malignant. Fine needle aspiration cytology had a sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of 81.82%, 100% and 96.55%, respectively. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value was 100% and 95.9%, respectively. Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration of the salivary gland is a safe and reliable technique in the primary diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. Although, limitations are encountered while predicting specific lesions on cytology, especially when dealing with cystic and some malignant lesions, this study has shown that fine needle aspiration cytology has a high sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing salivary gland lesions.

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of suspected salivary gland lesions has an established role in preoperative diagnosis and management of patients. However diverse morphological patterns and overlapping features make it a challenging job, to give a precise diagnosis at times.Methods: This was a prospective study done from October 2011 to October 2013. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed in 64 patients with clinically significant salivary gland lesions.Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology categorized 38 (59.4%) of the salivary gland lesions as neoplastic and 26 (40.6 %) as non- neoplastic lesions. Amongst the neoplastic lesions, 86.9% were benign and 13.2% were malignant cases.Conclusions: FNAC of the salivary gland is simple, cheap, safe and reliable technique in the primary diagnosis of salivary gland lesions.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Context.— Cellular basaloid neoplasms of the salivary gland represent a diverse group of benign and malignant neoplasms with significant cytomorphologic overlap on fine-needle aspiration cytology. All are marked by the presence of monotonous and usually bland basaloid epithelium. Distinction between basaloid neoplasms on fine-needle aspiration cytology is based on the presence or absence of additional features, including a second cell population (eg, myoepithelial cells), an acellular stromal component, and/or cytologic atypia within the basaloid epithelium. This review highlights the cytomorphologic features of the most common cellular basaloid neoplasms of the salivary gland, with an emphasis on classification and subclassification within the Milan System. Objective.— To provide a comprehensive review of the cytologic features of basaloid epithelial neoplasms of the salivary gland, with an emphasis on classification within the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology. Data Sources.— Peer-reviewed literature, recent textbooks, and personal experiences of the author. Conclusions.— Some basaloid neoplasms, in particular pleomorphic adenomas and adenoid cystic carcinomas, may have characteristic findings on fine-needle aspiration that allow for definitive diagnosis. In other cases, however, fine-needle aspiration can confirm a neoplastic basaloid process, but specific classification of a benign or malignant neoplasm cannot be rendered. The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology acknowledges this difficulty, and recommends benign or malignant classification only when definitive diagnostic features of a specific neoplasm are present. For indeterminate cases, the subcategorization of salivary neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential is recommended.
