Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of current study is to make clinico-pathological correlation of head and neck lesions and to assess the frequency of incidence at different sites among them.A retrospective study was conducted for a period of 6 months. Fine-needle aspiration diagnosis was correlated with details of relevant clinical findings and investigations. A total of 40 patients with the swellings of head and neck underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The aspirated tissue was smeared and stained with H & E.Out of 40 fine-needle aspiration procedures, 84.2% (Female), 15.7% (Male) were of thyroid, 71.4% (Male), 28.5% (female) were of lymph node, 50% from salivary gland, 57.1% (Male), 42.8% (Female) from oral cavity, 60% (Male), 40% (Female) from miscellaneous swellings.Fine needle aspiration cytology could differentiate the infective process from neoplastic lesions and avoids unnecessary surgeries. Thus FNAC can be recommended as first line of investigation in diagnosis of head and neck lesions. Keywords:FNAC, thyroid lesions, colloid goitre, aspirated material, lymph node, neoplastic lesions
