## Background: Many case reports describing various benign and malignant disease entities diagnosed in cystic parotid gland lesions by fine-needle aspiration (fna) exist in the literature. very few studies, however, discuss the efficacy and the diagnostic difficulties of fna cytology in such lesion

We report a series of seven patients who underwent fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for clinically apparent parotid gland lesions. In all seven cases, numerous to abundant polyhedral, multifaceted (nontyrosine) crystalloids were noted in the background of scanty cellular specimens composed predominantly
The value of immunocytochemical staining for glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) in salivary gland lesions was investigated in 33 fine-needle aspiration smears. The study utilized cytologic material f r o m ten pleomorphic adenomas, six normal salivary glands, three cases of chronic sialadenitis, t
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has been increasingly utilized as a diagnostic tool in evaluating salivary gland masses, primarily to differentiate nonneoplastic from neoplastic lesions. Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) frequently present with salivary gland lesions. In this st
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
