| Popis: | BACKGROUND Metastatic tumors to the salivary glands are common, but documentation in the cytologic literature has been limited. The current study presents the authors' experience with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in metastatic nonlymphomatous tumors to the salivary glands. METHODS From a retrospective review of 1675 salivary gland lesions (1535 patients), the authors collected 40 salivary gland lesions (39 patients who had histories of extrasalivary cancer) that were diagnosed cytologically as metastases to the salivary glands and were correlated histologically. RESULTS FNAs of 34 parotid gland and 6 submandibular gland tumors were performed. The cytologic diagnoses of metastases of squamous cell carcinoma (15 cases), melanoma (12 cases), carcinoma (5 cases), rhabdomyosarcoma (3 cases), and retinoblastoma (2 cases) were confirmed (95%) histologically. Two (5%) FNAs were false-negative. CONCLUSIONS In patients who had a history of extrasalivary cancer, cytology examination was very helpful and sufficient for adequate patient management.
