title: [Cytodiagnosis by fine needle aspiration biopsy in laryngeal diseases].
abstract: Aspiration cytodiagnosis is widely employed in head and neck tumors since it is atraumatic, it avoids neoplastic seeding and is highly reliable from a diagnostic standpoint. We used such method to support diagnosis in deep intramural laryngeal tumors, and in the post-radiotherapy evaluation of laryngeal areas coated with hard oedema and fibrosis. Needle aspiration was performed during direct laryngoscopy according to Kleinsasser. The method proved to be highly reliable for a diagnostic standpoint, with an agreement of 93% with the final histologic examination, higher than the one provided by traditional bioptic techniques.
