Needle Aspiration Cytology

AbstractSchwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Ancient schwannoma is an uncommon variant of schwannoma, which is usually located in the retroperitoneum. Those located in the chest wall are extremely rare. We report a case of ancient schwannoma in a 34 yr old male who presented with left sided chest pain, found to have a mass lesion in the chest wall radiologically. CT guided fine needle aspiration cytology showed features of ancient schwannoma which was confirmed on histopathology. Cytological findings in correlation with long standing nature and well defined borders on radiological examination of the lesion will aid in the preoperative diagnosis and proper management.

Objective: To evaluate the role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in the preoperative diagnosis of malignancy in parotid and submandibular gland neoplasm. Methods: This cross sectional study on 50 cases was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January’2009 to June 2010. Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology findings of our all 50 cases were compared with postoperative histopathological reports. Out of the 50 cases, in 36(72%) cases of benign neoplasm and 7(14%) cases of malignant neoplasm, pre-operative FNAC findings and post operative histopathological findings were same. In 7 cases, FNAC and post operative histopathological findings did not matched. These were 2 (4%) false positive and 5 (10%) false negative result.In our study sensitivity of FNAC for reporting malignancy was 58.33%, specificity to rule out malignancy was 94.73% and overall accuracy in detecting malignant tumour was 86%. Positive predictive value and negative value were 77.77% and 87.80% respectively. It can be concluded that fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe, cheap and useful preoperative diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of malignancy in parotid and submandibular gland, but as fine needle aspiration cytology partly depends on operator skill, it may give false negative and false positive result. Conclusion: FNAC is a useful preoperative diagnostic tool for malignant parotid and submandibular glands with high specificity and sensitivity.
