A Prospective Study

Introduction: Salivary gland lesions encompass a baffling subset of lesions with overlapping morphologies on cytomorphology, due to their heterogenous histologies and rare enough to sometimes bewilder even the most knowledgeable cytopathologists. The technique of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in the evaluation of salivary gland lesion is simple to perform, saves time, reliable, safe and inexpensive. FNA is highly accurate when used in proper clinical setting and supported by appropriate clinical and relevant diagnostic data. Rapidity of obtaining a pathological diagnosis allows more intelligent therapeutic approach. Materials and Methods: It was a prospective study carried out in the cytology section of pathology department for a period of two years using fine needle aspiration as a diagnostic tool as per standard protocol. The clinical and radiological data were obtained from the patient’s case papers and collaboration with the operating surgeon, the lesions were analysed on cytology. Haematoxylin & Eosin, Papanicolaou stain and Giemsa were used as standard stains. Results: A total of 66 cases of salivary gland lesions were aspirated for a period of two years. Majority of cases were in the age group of 21-30 years with 36 male patients (55%) and 30 female patients (45%). About 44(66.7%), 19(28.8%), 1(1.5%) and 2(3.0%) cases occurred in parotid gland, submandibular gland, sublingual gland and minor salivary gland respectively. There were 21(32%) cases of non-neoplastic lesions and 45(68%) cases of neoplastic lesions. Histopathological specimens were available in 11 out of 66 cases and showed correlation with cytological findings. Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology of salivary gland lesions has high diagnostic accuracy, helps in appropriate therapeutic management and is useful as a diagnostic procedure because of the availability of earlier diagnosis in comparison with the histopathology.

Sensitivity Specificity

Background: A wide variety of benign and malignant tumours originate in the salivary glands and insufficient tumour cells make their diagnosis difficult in some patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions and to correlate cytological findings with histopathology. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study done from September 2002 to May 2004. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed in 58 patients with clinically significant salivary gland masses. Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology categorized 67.24% of the salivary gland lesions as neoplastic and 32.76% as non-neoplastic lesions. Amongst the neoplastic lesions, 76.9% were benign and 23.1% were malignant cases. Histopathological examination revealed that 81.05% of the cases were benign and 18.95% were malignant. Fine needle aspiration cytology had a sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of 81.82%, 100% and 96.55%, respectively. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value was 100% and 95.9%, respectively. Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration of the salivary gland is a safe and reliable technique in the primary diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. Although, limitations are encountered while predicting specific lesions on cytology, especially when dealing with cystic and some malignant lesions, this study has shown that fine needle aspiration cytology has a high sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing salivary gland lesions.
