Evaluation of usefulness of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of tumours of the accessory parotid gland: a preliminary analysis of a case series in Japan

Abstract: There were four false-negative cases (19.0%), three of mucoepidermoid carcinomas and one of malignant lymphoma. One false-positive result was noted in the case of a myoepithelioma, which was cytologically diagnosed as suspected adenoid cystic carcinoma. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in detecting malignant tumours were 76.2%, 60.0% and 90.9%, respectively.

“…This finding may have been related to the high false‐negative rate for mucoepidermoid carcinoma cases (57.1% [4 of 7]) and the small sample size for malignant lesions (7.3% [16 of 218]). Low‐grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma can be misdiagnosed as chronic sialadenitis, a mucous retention cyst, a Warthin tumor, or adenomatoid hyperplasia of the mucous salivary gland 10 , 17 . For further evaluation, a larger study may be required.…”

“…Malignant tumors are typically irregularly shaped, firm, ill-defined and poorly movable, and show fast growth; however, for certain painless, slow-growing tumors of the parotid gland, the possibility of malignancy cannot be easily ruled out (30,31). In previous studies, the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of parotid gland tumor prior to surgery ranged from 91 to 98% (32)(33)(34)(35). There were some misdiagnoses in pathological examination among the preoperative fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens, intraoperative frozen sections, and paraffin-embedded sections (31,32,36,37).…”
