  • Title: Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology in diagnosis of salivary gland tumours.
    Author: Mondal A, Das MM, Mukherjee PK.
    Journal: J Indian Med Assoc; 1989 May; 87(5):108-10. PubMed ID: 2689518.
    Abstract:
    Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology of salivary gland tumours was performed in 97 patients. Histological confirmation was available in all cases except 9 cases of sialo-adenitis which responded to antibiotics. Accuracy of cytological diagnosis in exact categorisation of benign and malignant tumours was 93.7% and 91.1% respectively. False negative was 4.1%. The overall accuracy was 95.8%. There was no false positive report. Exact classification of tumour was made in 94.1% cases, ie, 80 out of 85 tumours. No complication was encountered in this procedure.
