  • Title: Fine-needle sampling of salivary gland lesions. II. Cytology and histology correlation of 71 cases of Warthin's tumor (adenolymphoma).
    Author: Klijanienko J, Vielh P.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 1997 Mar; 16(3):221-5. PubMed ID: 9099541.
    Abstract:
    Fine-needle sampling (FNS) of 71 Warthin's tumors was performed preoperatively in 70 patients. Cytologic diagnoses were concordant with histology in 50 (70.4%) tumors, whereas 14 (19.7%) cases were cytologically misclassified as benign lesions. Material for cytologic evaluation was unsatisfactory in seven (9.9%) cases, and no suspicious or false-positive diagnoses were observed. FNS is therefore a reliable preoperative technique for assessment of Warthin's tumor with a concordant/benign diagnostic rate of 90.1%.
