Infarction of salivary gland tumors has been reported following fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and, rarely, as a spontaneous event. Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often have salivary gland lesions and FNAC plays a role in the preliminary investigation of such swellings. We report a case of a parotid swelling in a patient infected with HIV where infarction of acinic cell carcinoma following FNAC lead to difficulty in cytological evaluation of the subsequent aspirate.

Cancer-associated stroke is an evolving subgroup of embolic strokes of undetermined source. A man in his mid-20s with progressive follicular variant acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid was admitted because of new onset left-sided weakness. Neuroimaging confirmed a right middle cerebral artery infarction.

Recent reports have alluded to various tissue effects secondary to fine-needle aspiration (FNA), particularly infarction observed in resected salivary gland masses, precluding accurate histologic diagnosis. Our experience with the use of 25-gauge needles indicates otherwise. We retrospectively reviewed 94 resected salivary gland masses previously sampled by FNA, looking for infarction, hemorrhage, needle track tumor seeding, and fibrosis.
