Lymphangioma or cystic hygroma is an uncommon benign congenital tumor of lymphatics that is seen in children and, rarely, adults. Lymphangioma primarily involving the parotid gland is an extremely uncommon occurrence in adults. We report on the cytologic findings of a parotid lymphangioma in a 34-yr

The usefulness of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland lesions is still controversial. The 438 FNABs taken at the Turku University Central Hospital between 1984-1991 were reviewed. Of these FNABs, 218 had been confirmed histologically. Within this sub
Background. Both fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and frozen section (FS), although useful in preoperative and intraoperative management, have their advantages and pitfalls when used in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. The accuracy of each of these modalities has been assessed separately in many
Background. The purpose of this study was to assess the capability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cytology and flow cytometric (FCM) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis in fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)-derived materials for diagnosing malignancy of the parotid lesions and the effica
Three fine-needle aspiration biopsies from 2 patients with parotid masses yielded large numbers of nontyrosine crystalloids. One patient proved to have a benign cyst that was resected because it did not subside following two fine-needle aspirates. In a second patient, the swelling shrank after a cou
