Sažetak
Objectives: Salivary gland tumours are uncommon and unique in their morphologic complexity, variability and overlapping, thus making it more difficult to acquire diagnostic expertise in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Very few reports have focused solely on intraoral minor salivary gland tumour especially in cytology. The purpose of this study was to asses the value of FNAC in lesions' differentiation. Methods: Within five years 66 FNAC of minor salivary gland lesions have been performed by a cytologist. We acquired adequate material from 58 (87.9 %) patients. FNAC was performed using 23G needle attached to 20ml syringe. The smears were stained with MGG, Papanicoalou and cytochemical staining. The cytological diagnoses were compared with histopathological ones. Results: A total of 41 patients underwent surgery: 21 with benign and 20 with malignant tumours. The two most common tumours were pleomorphic adenoma (16 patients) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (12 patients). The most commonly affected site was the palate (34 patients). The team work of cytologist and surgeon enables specificity of 95.2%, sensitivity of 95% and diagnostic accuracy of 95.1%. Conclusions: It is very important to know whether the lesion is malignant or benign for planning surgery and may prompt or postpone decision for surgical intervention. Close co-operation of surgeon and cytologist performing FNAC enables more accurate preoperative cytological diagnoses of minor salivary gland tumours
