Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytology in diagnosis and surgery of parotid gland lesions.

Introduction: A cytology report is always a challenge for both head and neck surgeons and cytopathologists to diagnose and manage parotid gland (PG) diseases, because of the various similar features between the lesions.

Objectives: The present study was conducted to assess our practice using the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Cytopathology (MSRSGC) and to evaluate the risk of malignancy (ROM) in different categories.

Patients And Methods: The patients with parotid gland lesions were diagnosed by clinical examination, ultrasound, and FNAC under ultrasound guidance at our hospital from 1 May 2019 to 30 April 2021.
