Abstract
The cytologic findings of 90 aspirates obtained by the fine needle aspiration technique from [human] head and neck masses are compared with the histology of the permanent section. The overall concurrence rate between cytologic and histologic findings for benign and malignant tumors is 80%. There is a 6.6% false-negative rate. There are no false-positive results. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is safe, complication-free and most helpful in treatment planning.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
