A Review of Cytology of Salivary Gland Lesions: Old, Updated and New

Jihong Sun, Xiu Yang

Abstract


Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy plays a critical role in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesion.  Compared to excisional biopsy, FNA is safer, faster and less tumor seeding spread. The sensitivity and specificity of FNA for diagnosing neoplasm is very high. In this review, we will discuss the cytological findings of a wide spectrum of non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases in salivary glands. We will further discuss the differentiation diagnosis for each entity.  The new molecular findings in salivary gland tumors will be addressed. 

Keywords
