Introduction:The head and neck masses are relatively common pathology. These head and neck masses are evaluated by clinical history and examination with the aid of investigations like FNAC, USG and CT of the region and excision biopsy. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a very simple, quick, inexpensive and minimally invasive technique used to diagnose different types of swellings like lymph node, thyroid, soft tissue and salivary glands in head and neck region. Objectives: It is to assess the frequency and incidence of different sites, age, sex and distribution of inflammatory, benign and malignant lesions. . Patients between the ages of 35days to 85 years were enrolled into the study. A total of 139 patients with a head and neck swelling underwent FNAC. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis was correlated with detailed clinical findings and investigations. Result: Out of 139 fine needle aspiration procedures 64.02% (89 cases) were of lymph node, 18.7% (26 cases) were of thyroid, 2.87% from salivary gland(04 cases), 12.94% (18 cases) from skin and soft tissue swellings. Out of total 139 lesions, 80 (57.55%) were inflammatory, 48 (34.53%) benign and 09 (6.47%) were malignant and 02 (1.43%) were inconclusive. Conclusion: From our study we concluded that FNAC is simple, quick, inexpensive and minimally invasive first line investigation for differential diagnosis of head and neck masses.

Swellings in the Head and Neck region are very common and are evaluated with the help of a detailed clinical history, physical examination and investigations like FNAC, USG, CT scan or excisional biopsy. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a simple, quick, inexpensive and minimally invasive OPD procedure used in the diagnosis of different swellings of Lymph nodes, thyroid, salivary gland and soft tissues in the Head and Neck region.We did this study with the purpose of identifying the frequency and distribution of different pathologies found in FNAC done in patients presenting with a swelling in the Head and Neck region as per the site, age, sex and type of the lesion.A retrospective study was conducted on the patients presenting with swelling in the Head and Neck region at the Pathology department of a tertiary care hospital between the duration of 1 August 2019 to 30 April 2021. FNAC was performed on total 260 patients.Out of 260 cases, 157 cases (60.4%) were from Lymph nodes, 50 cases (19.2%) from thyroid gland, 27 cases (10.3%) from skin and subcutaneous tissue, 23 cases (8.84%) from salivary gland and 3 cases (1.1%) were inconclusive due to inadequate material aspiration. 149 cases (57.98%) were inflammatory, 70 cases (27.24%) benign and 38 cases (14.78%) were found to be malignant.FNAC is a simple, quick, inexpensive, minimally invasive OPD procedure and used as first line of investigation in the diagnosis of swellings in the Head and Neck region.

BACKGROUND Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a rapid, economical and less invasive method used for diagnosis in case of head and neck lesions which are commonly seen in general practice. Aim was to assess advantage of using FNAC in case of diagnosis of palpable head and neck masses. We wanted to assess the prevalence and distribution of head and neck swellings diagnosed by FNAC, assess the frequency and distribution of various lesion as per the site, age, and gender as well as according to the lesion being benign or malignant. METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted among five hundred and forty-four patients who went through FNAC for different types of head and neck swellings evaluated for cytomorphology. RESULTS Majority of the patients belonged to the age group of 31 to 40 years. Out of 544 cases, maximum lesions were from lymph nodes 264, followed by thyroid gland 193, salivary gland 59, cheek lesions 18, post–auricular 8 and forehead / scalp lesions 2 cases respectively. CONCLUSIONS FNAC being extremely sensitive, specific and a reliable procedure for screening and primary diagnosis of palpable head and neck lesions, helps as an adjunct to histopathology. For surgical and radiological decisive purposes, to decide as to whether to resect a benign tumour or to plan extensive surgeries, FNAC helps in guiding the therapeutic management by avoiding unnecessary surgeries and expenses.
