Abstract
Introduction: Salivary gland tumors are uncommon neoplasm of head and neck tumors. FNAC can
provide cytological categorization of salivary gland lesions for guiding the surgeons to make treatment
decisions. This study is intended to analyze the cytological spectrum of salivary gland lesions Aims and Objectives: in
correlation with age, gender, and site of the lesion. A total of 222 cases are included in Methods: this study spanning a period
from January 2015 to December 2018. The clinical data pertaining to patients' age, sex and anatomical site were recorded.
Cytological smears were reviewed. The clinical features, imaging ndings, cytopathology and histopathology ndings were
analyzed. In this three year study period, out of 222 cases, 129 cases were non-neoplast Results: ic and 93 cases were
neoplastic. Commonest gland involved was parotid gland followed by submandibular gland. Malignant lesions accounted
for about 17.2% of the neoplastic lesions. In our study, majority of lesions are non-neoplasti Conclusion: c. Among them
sialadenitis was the most commonly encountered lesion. Among benign neoplasm, pleomorphic adenoma was the most
common neoplasm with slight female preponderance. Among malignant tumors, mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most
common malignant tumor
