“The Role Of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology In Evaluation Of Neck Masses
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive technique used in the initial diagnosis of different types of lesions located in neck region commonly originating from cervical lymph node, thyroid gland, salivary glands and soft tissues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in various neck lesions in correlation with their histopathological examination.Materials and methods: A hospital based prospective study was conducted among 86 patients with palpable neck region lesions in the Department of Pathology, SPMC BIKANER from JUNE 2011 to December 2013. FNAC weredone from palpable masses of neck regions.Result: There were 86 FNAC cases enrolled, out of which lymph node lesions (n=42) were the most common lesions followed by thyroid (n=26), other miscellaneous lesions (n=2) and salivary gland (n=14) and 2 are unsatisfactory. In the present study,out of the total 86 samples, 46 cases(53.48%)were non–neoplastic, while 40 cases (46.51%)were neoplastic lesions. Among the 40 neoplastic lesions, 13 cases were benign (32.50%)and 27 cases (67.50%) were malignant. High accuracy(95.23%),sensitivity(81.81%) and Specificity(93.93%) were observed in this study. Conclusion: FNAC is a minimally invasive first line investigation with a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of various neck lesions
