Introduction: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is increasingly being recognised for its diagnostic utility in evaluation of bone tumours. Though open surgical biopsy is the procedure of choice for diagnosis of bony tumours. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of FNAC in diagnosis of bony tumours. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 40 patients with bony lesions from July 2018 to December 2019 in tertiary level centre of Rajasthan. The FNAC was performed after clinical and radiological assessment. The smears were stained using standard techniques. Also, open biopsy was performed in the patients who presented with bony lesions of patients and slides prepared for histopathological examination using standard techniques. The data was entered in Excel sheets and the results were evaluated using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0. Results: Adequate material was obtained in FNAC in 29 (72.5%) cases. Out of 29 cases, FNAC results were accurate in 96.5% cases. False Negative report was obtained in one case with no false positives. Sensitivity of FNAC in diagnosing bony lesions comes to be 90% and Specificity was 100%. The Positive Predictive Value (PPV) was 100% and the Negative Predictive Value (NPV) 95.4%. Conclusion: The FNAC is invaluable tool in primary diagnosis of bony lesions. The technique of obtaining sufficient material though needs to be mastered and will definitely improve with more experience and radiologic correlation.

AbstractObjective:To report a case of varix of the retromandibular vein within the parotid gland.Methods:Case report, and discussion of the appropriate selection and use of radiological investigation techniques.Results:A 64-year-old lady who presented with unilateral tinnitus underwent a magnetic resonance imaging scan to exclude a vestibular schwannoma. The magnetic resonance scout images revealed an incidental finding of a hyper-echoic mass within the parotid gland. The mass was most consistent with a pleomorphic adenoma. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology was arranged; the ultrasound identified the mass as a varix of the retromandibular vein and fine needle aspiration cytology was not performed.Conclusion:A varix of the retromandibular vein is a very rare cause of a parotid mass. Appropriate radiological investigations can prevent unnecessary invasive investigations or procedures.

Objective: To evaluate the role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in the preoperative diagnosis of malignancy in parotid and submandibular gland neoplasm. Methods: This cross sectional study on 50 cases was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January’2009 to June 2010. Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology findings of our all 50 cases were compared with postoperative histopathological reports. Out of the 50 cases, in 36(72%) cases of benign neoplasm and 7(14%) cases of malignant neoplasm, pre-operative FNAC findings and post operative histopathological findings were same. In 7 cases, FNAC and post operative histopathological findings did not matched. These were 2 (4%) false positive and 5 (10%) false negative result.In our study sensitivity of FNAC for reporting malignancy was 58.33%, specificity to rule out malignancy was 94.73% and overall accuracy in detecting malignant tumour was 86%. Positive predictive value and negative value were 77.77% and 87.80% respectively. It can be concluded that fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe, cheap and useful preoperative diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of malignancy in parotid and submandibular gland, but as fine needle aspiration cytology partly depends on operator skill, it may give false negative and false positive result. Conclusion: FNAC is a useful preoperative diagnostic tool for malignant parotid and submandibular glands with high specificity and sensitivity.
