Introduction: The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) emerged in 2015 as an attempt to establish protocols for a most appropriate follow-up and treatment of patients with salivary gland lesions. Through fine needle aspiration (FNA), a safe and minimally invasive way to obtain cytological samples, the lesion is classified into one of the six categories, which have different risks of malignancy (ROM) and, therefore, different management.
Materials And Methods: FNA cytology procedures performed between January 2016 and June 2020 (54 months) at the Pathology Institute of Araçatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, were analyzed by two pathologists with more than 5 years of experience.
