Abstract:

Introduction: FNAC is a highly reliable technique for pre-operative diagnosis of salivary gland tumors in the hands of experienced pathologists. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and to check the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity and specificity of fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions.

Materials and Methods: In the present study, 85 cases of salivary gland lesions are aspirated in the department of Pathology, of which 60 cases with neoplasms of salivary glands underwent surgery and are included in the study at kamineni institute of medical sciences, Narketpally from October 2015 to September 2017.

Results: The lesions were more common on the Right side (66.66%), Benign lesions (83.33%), The lesions were more common in Parotid gland (73.33%), The Benign neoplasms were 53 cases (88.33%) of all tumors. Among the Benign neoplasms there were 38 cases of Pleomorphic adenoma, 2 cases of Benign cystic lesion, 1 case of benign spindle cell lesion, 1 case of salivary lipomatosis. Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest tumor accounting for 92.98% of all benign tumors. Statistical analysis revealed sensitivity of 71.4%, specificity of 100% and Diagnostic accuracy of 96.6%. correlation value is 0.631 and P value is 0.00 which is statistically significant.

Conclusion: the present study reaffirms that FNAC of the salivary glands neoplasms, being a quick, safe, and affordable procedure offers an invaluable and highly accurate initial diagnostic approach for the management of patients.

Key words: Benign lesions, FNAC, Parotid Gland, Pleomorphic adenoma, Salivary Gland Tumors.
