Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)to be used as a standalone diagnostic tool in parotid gland tumors.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was performed at Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar. About 49 patients with swellings of the salivary glands were included in the study. FNAC was performed on each of the patient followed by biopsy and the results were compared.
Results:Total numbers of benign and malignant lesions were 37 and 12 respectively. In this study the sensitivity of FNAC was 91.7% and specifi city was 100%. Positive predictive value was 100% whereas negative predictive value was 97.4%.
Conclusion: FNAC was found to be highly accurate in diagnosing the tumors of parotid gland and in diff erentiating benign and malignant lesions and treatment planning.
