## Background: Fine-needle aspiration (fna) biopsy has proved to be a cost-effective technique, with low complication risks and high diagnostic value in distinguishing neoplastic versus nonneoplastic lesions in many organs. this study was designed to determine the reliability, areas of diagnostic d
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. The objective of this study was to determine the utility of fineneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the primary diagnosis of mesenchymal lesions. A total of 162 cases with a diagnosis of benign or malignant mesenchymal lesion (excluding lipoma) on FNAB were retrieved from the cytopa
