BACKGROUND. ThinPrep (TP) cytology for evaluation of nongynecological specimens is being increasingly used. There are few studies comparing TP with conventional smears (CS) in salivary gland (SG) fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB). This study compares diagnostic accuracy and morphology of TP and
## Abstract ## Background. To retrospectively compare the accuracies of ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (USFNA) and ultrasound‐guided core needle biopsy (USCNB) in the diagnosis of parotid masses. ## Methods. A total of 171 patients (aged 17–86 years, mean 54 years) with parotid masses
## Abstract ## Background. Core‐needle biopsy (CNB) has been successfully applied in other medical specialties, but its value is undetermined in otolaryngology. ## Methods. This prospective study includes 75 patients, who were seen at our institution with a cervical mass. The results of CNB were
## Abstract Recent reports have indicated that needle biopsy without aspiration obtained adequate material for diagnosis. To determine objectively the adequacy of cell yield both for diagnosis and for special studies (e.g., flow cytometry, markers), we prospectively studied 20 superficial lymph nod
Background. Ultrasound of the neck with fine needle aspiration (US-FNA) of suspicious lymph nodes has potential advantages over other radiologic techniques as a screening method for the N0 neck in head and neck cancer. Methods. Twenty-five patients with head and neck cancer who underwent both US of
