Abstract :

Lesions of salivary gland are not that uncommon and malignancy of salivary gland constitute 0.5 % of all malignancies. The concordance between fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathology varies with its clinical and biological behaviour. Most salivary gland lesions involve the parotid and more than half are benign. We here present cases of parotid lesion of our institute with surgical modalities and concordance between FNAC and histopathology. Summary : We present 84 cases of parotid lesion, pleomorphic adenoma being most common benign tumour and adenoid cystic carcinoma most common malignant tumour as diagnosed on FNAC and histopathology. Superficial parotidectomy was performed in majority of cases with wound infection and dehiscence being most common post surgical complication.
