Background: The overall incidence of salivary gland neoplasm is 2.5-3.0 per 100000 per year. Salivary gland malignancies account for about 5% of head-neck malignancies. Though, it is uncommon but not rare in our country. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) has been widely used for many years as a method for assessing salivary gland lesion preoperatively. It is a simple, quick, inexpensive and minimally invasive technique used to diagnose different types of salivary gland neoplasm. Objectives: To see the frequency of malignancy in parotid and submandibular salivary gland neoplasm and also to find out the role of FNAC in their preoperative diagnosis. Histopathological examination of the resected parotid and submandibular gland neoplasm was considered as gold standard to compare FNAC report of this study. Methods: This was a cross – sectional study which was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from January 2017 to June 2018. Purposive sampling method was used to collect data. Pre-tested structured data sheet was used to record information. After collection, data were edited by meticulous checking and re-checking. Data were analyzed using SPSS for windows version 22. Results: After histopathological confirmation of the resected specimen, most common benign parotid tumour was pleomorphic adenoma 76.7% followed by warthin’s tumour 16.7%. In benign submandibular gland neoplasm, pleomorphic adenoma was the commones 87.5% followed by haemangioma 12.5%. Commonest malignant tumour of submandibular gland was adenoid cystic carcinoma 50.0%. In our study sensitivity of FNAC was 75.0%, specificity 94.74% and overall accuracy was 90%. Positive predictive value and negative value were 81.82% and 92.31% respectively. Conclusion: 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.

Objectives: Salivary gland tumors account for only 3% of head and neck tumors. Their character is mostly benign, although tumors of the submandibular gland are more often malignant. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the structure of patients operated due to submandibular gland tumor and to study the correlation between fine-needle aspiration cytology and postoperative histopathological examination. Methodology: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of all patients with submandibular gland tumors. The collected data included the demographic structure, results of preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology and postoperative histopathologic examination. Results: We analyzed 58 patients – 35 women and 23 men with a mean age of 56.6 years. The character of the lesion was benign in 45 cases and malignant in 13. The most frequent benign tumors were pleomorphic adenoma, inflammatory tumor and Warthin’s tumor, whereas most common malignancies were carcinoma planoepitheliale and lymphoma . There were four recurrences. Moreover, we compared results of preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology and histopathological findings. The accuracy of this examination was almost 83%; 56% of incorrect results involved nondetection of malignancies. The sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of those tumors were 58.3% and 97.5%, respectively. Conclusions: The most common types of submandibular gland are pleomorphic adenoma and carcinoma planoepitheliale and lymphoma amongst malignancies. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is accurate in the preoperative diagnosis, mistakes are mostly caused by underdiagnosis of malignant tumors.

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.
