Role of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions: a 5-year institutional experience

Conclusion Salivary gland FNAC continues to have a high diagnostic accuracy; consequently, it is helpful for designing appropriate management. Lesions with classic cytomorphology are easily diagnosed; however, pleomorphic adenoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and cysts may impart a diagnostic challenge when inadequately aspirated and therefore we advice repeat aspiration under image guidance.
