Fine-needle sampling of salivary gland lesions. VI. Cytological review of 44 cases of primary salivary squamous-cell carcinoma with histological correlation.
Fine-needle sampling (FNS) of 44 salivary squamous cell carcinomas, including 34 primary tumors arising from parotid gland, 6 local recurrences, and 4 lymph node cervical metastases, was performed in 44 patients. Cytologic diagnoses were concordant with histological diagnoses in 36 (81.8%) cases, whereas 5 (11.4%) cases were classified as malignant (carcinoma or adenocarcinoma), 1 (2.3%) case as suspicious, and 2 (4.5%) cases were false-negative (necrosis). No samples were unsatisfactory for cytologic evaluation.
