    Author: Droese M, Haubrich J, Tute M.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1978 Jun 17; 108(24):933-5. PubMed ID: 663582.
    Abstract:
    Tumors of the salivary glands can be diagnosed preoperatively by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Aspiration biopsy was performed in 328 cases with swelling of a salivary gland. Histologic findings were available for comparison in 186 cases. The cytologic reports yielded a positive tumor diagnosis in 84% of the cases with histologically verified tumors. False negative reports were mainly due to cystic tumors. Information concerning the dignity of the tumor was obtained in 95% of the cases recognized by cytology. The type of the tumor was correctly diagnosed in 90%.
