Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The salivary glands are one of the few tissues in the body that are subjected to diverse and heterogeneous range of tumors and tumor like conditions. The relative infrequency of these tumors makes their diagnosis and management quite complicated. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a useful diagnostic procedure which has a recognized role in the evaluation of salivary gland lesions. A pre-operative diagnosis about nature of lesion, whether benign or malignant, will help in making decision about proper management of patient. Objective: Aim of this study was to know the incidence of various salivary gland tumors in our region using fine needle aspiration cytology and taking histopathology as the gold standard. Method: It was prospective observational study conducted in department of oral ans maxillofacial surgery in our institute. Total 80 cases were studied with particular reference to age, sex, site, cytologic details & histological types as per WHO classification. FNAC & histopathological examination was done in all cases from the department of Pathology Govt. Medical College Srinagar. Diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was evaluated by comparing cytological & histopathological diagnoses. Results: Maximum number of patients was in age range of 41-50 years & male to female ratio was 2:3. Most common benign & malignant tumors were pleomorphic adenoma (69.89% cases) & mucoepidermoid carcinoma (8.60% cases) respectively. On cytology, 73 cases while on histopathology 76 cases were diagnosed as neoplastic. Conclusion: parotid gland was the most commonly affected site followed by submandibular gland and minor salivary glands. FNAC in salivary gland masses is fairly reliable for correct preoperative diagnosis.
