[The role of needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of parotid masses].
The aim of this work is to assess the list of fine needle aspiration in the diagnosis of lesions of the parotid. Thirty-nine patients suffering from parotid pathology were subjected to cytology examination through fine needle aspiration. Thirty seven patients subjected to surgical operation have a histological comparison. We have proved the validity of the technique considering the sensibility, specificity and the accuracy. We didn't have FN we only had 1 FP that could be a suspect cytology. We had a 100% sensibility, a 75% specificity and 97.29% accuracy.
