Abstract
This prospective study includes 60 patients ( 33 males and 27 females) of head and neck masses under 14 years of age. The aspiration cytology was carried out in all the cases and histopathology was carried out in 52 cases only. The overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of FNAC in the diagnosis of head and neck masses in children was found to be 96.15%, 95.6% and 95.9% respectively. The cases where surgery was not done were 3 cases of colloid goiter with hypothyroidism, 2 cases of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis , 2 cases of chronic parotitis and one case of sternocleidomastoid tumour.
