title: [Fine-needle puncture of salivary gland tumors].
abstract: Fine needle aspiration cytology of major salivary glands is easy to perform at a low cost. Its predictive value is 100% for malignancy. Its main indications are: the diagnosis of inflammatory lesions, of malignant growths (either epithelial or lymphoma or metastases) and the follow-up of benign lesions which are not immediately amenable to surgery.
