Fine-needle aspiration cytology has become a frequently used technique for the diagnosis of neoplasms of the head and neck. While the method has a high sensitivity and specijicity for the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions, important pitfalls for the cytologic diagnosis of these lesions exist. This
Three hundred and forty-one salivary gland fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology specimens taken over a 6-yr period were reviewed and correlated with clinical and/or histological findings. The aspirates were derived from parotid gland (212 cases), submandibular gland (124 cases), and minor salivary
