Dr. Peeyush Kumar Saini
Abstract :
Aim and objective: Importance of FNAC in diagnosing non–neoplastic and benign neck lesions. Material and methods: This retrospective study was done in a our laboratory from 1/1/2015 to 31/12/2016 in patients having swelling in head and neck region. Total cases were evaluated in the cytopathology section and aspiration was done using 10ml syringe and 22–23 gauge needles. Results: Cytodiagnostic yield was 90% while in only 10% cases, no diagnosis was given. Lymph node lesions were most common with granulomatous/tuberculous lesions being the commonest variety. In salivary gland lesions Pleomorphic adenoma were commonest. Other common lesions were lipomas. Conclusion: FNAC provides a reliable, cost effective, convenient, easily accessible and non–traumatic method as the best initial work up and management of swellings of sensitive head and neck region
