Cytopathological study of salivary gland lesion in patients at a tertiary care centre, Indore: a one-year study

Abstract: Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is being increasingly used in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. However, the diagnosis is still difficult sometimes. Salivary gland lesions account for 2-6.5% of all the neoplasms of the head and neck. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and the sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in various salivary gland lesions and their histological correlation wherever possible.Methods: A total of 123 FNACs were done on salivary glan… Show more

“…indicating that salivary gland lesions are more common in females. [9,10] In the present study, parotid gland was involved in 60% cases, submandibular gland in 38.3% and sublingual gland in 1.7% cases. Parotid gland is the maximum involved gland by salivary gland lesions followed by submandibular gland which is in accordance with studies conducted by Ashraf et al (2010), [11] Nanda et al (2012) and Verma (2016).…”

“…In the studies conducted by Shetty and Geethamani (2016), [14] Verma (2016) and Todase et al (2017), [8,10] incidence of pleomorphic adenoma among all salivary gland tumors is 68%, 58.3% and 54.7% respectively. In the present study, the incidence of pleomorphic adenoma is 48.3% among all salivary gland tumors which is in accordance with these studies indicating that pleomorphic adenoma has the highest incidence among all salivary gland tumors.…”
