There are three pairs of salivary glands-parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands15. Minor salivary glands are about 800-100 located throughout the oral cavity in the buccal, labial lingual mucosa ,the soft palate ,lateral parts of hard palate and the floor of mouth. Salivary gland lesions form 2-5 percent of all Head and neck neoplasms4,6,8. Age incidence varies widely, extending from children to adults over 80 years of age. These glands are usually not subjected to incisional or core needle biopsy, because of the possible risk of fistula formation and tumor seedling18. Cysts and associated lesions with cystic changes are commonly encountered in Head and neck region. Pathology of these lesions are diverse and includes developmental, inflammatory, benign and malignant tumors which can be primary or metastatic. FNAC is a useful method for evaluating salivary gland lesions. It is of particular relevance in the head and neck area because of easy accessibility of the target site6 minimally invasive procedure, excellent patient compliance and thereby help to avoid surgery in non-neoplastic, inflammatory conditions. 1 It is a preferred method due to its low cost, rapid turnaround time, minimum morbidity. It has a high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions It is useful to categorize the lesions into inflammatory, reactive, benign and malignant lesions and thereby useful for appropriate therapeutic management6,8,10. However, the heterogenecity of many salivary gland tumors along with overlap of cytomorphological features presents as a challenging work to conclude with precise diagnosis in some instances. The purpose of FNAC is not only to provide a definite specific diagnosis. But it is also used in conjunction with clinical and radiological findings to provide the best possible initial assessment from which management can be planned1,10. Till date, ultrasonography is acting as bridge between surgery and pathology.17 Pre-operative assessment of parotid swelling by cytology and ultrasonography is especially significant in our country where tuberculosis and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma invading perisalivary lymph nodes mimic parotid swelling. Major salivary gland neoplasms usually present with non-specific clinical symptoms ,requiring high degree of suspicion. FNAC offers an invaluable and accurate initial diagnostic tool for the management of these patients even in the era of the Immunohistochemistry. 2 The present study aims to correlate cytomorphological features of salivary gland lesions in FNAC and the corresponding histopathology in suspicious malignant cases. Keeping histopathological diagnosis as gold standard sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was calculated. An adequate and representative sampling is essential for proper cytological evaluation to reduce the errors in diagnosis. The diagnostic pitfalls in FNAC were evaluated along with practical suggestions to improve the diagnostic accuracy especially while dealing with mucinous lesions. Other varied reasons for diagnostic errors may be due to uncertainty of the site and tissues aspirated , minimal material and lack of architectural pattern in the smears as compared to histological sections. Relevant clinical data, radiological findings, along with cooperation between the clinician and cytopathologist10,13 are important in order to use FNAC to its best advantage. Thus the present study offers to examine the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of FNAC of salivary gland lesions with histopathological correlation and to identify the discrepancies contributing to pitfalls in diagnosis. 3 AIM & OBJECTIVES AIMS AND OBJECTIVES AIM: To analyse the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in various salivary gland lesions and correlate with the histopathological findings. OBJECTIVES: 1. To analyse the clinical, Histological and cytological features of salivary gland
