Article Synopsis
- The review analyzed fine needle aspiration biopsies of salivary gland lesions at Flinders Medical Centre over 9 years, highlighting discrepancies between initial cytology reports and final histological diagnoses.
- One notable issue was the atypical features seen in pleomorphic adenomas, which raised concerns for low-grade malignancies in several instances.
- Misdiagnoses included a few malignant tumors incorrectly identified as Warthin's tumors and confusion between various types of adenomas and carcinomas, prompting a discussion on their cytologic features.
