Article Synopsis
- Benign neck masses are common in head & neck clinics and are often diagnosed using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB), which are effective and can reduce the need for surgery.
- A study analyzed data from 192 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided FNAC or CNB for benign neck conditions, finding that most complications were minor, with infections being the most frequent.
- The results indicate that both FNAC and CNB are safe procedures for diagnosing neck lumps, but doctors should be cautious of potential risks, especially in specific conditions like branchial cleft cysts.
