“…The calculation of positive predictive value and negative predictive value has not been conducted elsewhere for oral lesions, but, for glandular lesions, the values were found to vary from 83% to 100% and 87.8% to 99%, respectively. 1,5,13,15 The rates of false positives and false negatives in this study were 6.7% and 13.3%, respectively. These figures agree with those reported in the literature, which indicates that the false positive rate typically varies from 0 to 3% and that the false negative rate varies from 0 to 20%.…”

Abstract:The objective of the current study was to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of submucous nodules from the oral cavity and head and neck region as an auxiliary diagnostic tool. Fifty patients with nodule lesions in the oral cavity and the head and neck region were selected. All of them were submitted to FNAB and to either incisional or excisional biopsy. The diagnoses from the FNABs were compared with the biopsy diagnosis as the gold standard. All the cases of FNAB were analyzed by a single oral pathologist prior to the biopsy diagnosis. The results showed that the sensitivity of FNAB was 75%, its specificity was 96% and its accuracy was 58.8%. The false positive and false negative rates were 6.7% and 13.3%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 86% and the negative predictive value was 93%. The inconclusive rate was 16/50. FNAB displayed a high success rate for identifying both malignant and benign lesions, but a low accuracy for making a final diagnosis.

Background: Aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of FNAC in diagnosing thyroid swellings. Methods: A Retrospective study was conducted over a period of one year (September 2014 to September 2015), which included 54 patients, who presented with thyroid swelling to the ENT outpatient department.All the above patients were subjected to FNAC,and were operated for the swelling, their histopathological report were correlated with the pre-operative FNAC report to determine the accuracy of FNAC in correctly diagnosing the thyroid swelling. The data in this study was analysed using statistics analysis system (SAS) software. Results: Majority of the patients was in 3rd decade and females were more than males. The accuracy of FNAC in diagnosing thyroid swelling in the present study was found to be 77.78%. Conclusions: FNAC is a safe, quick and inexpensive technique in diagnosing thyroid swelling with high degree of accuracy.
