Popis:	Computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsy of deep-seated head and neck lesions can be a less invasive and equally effective alternative to surgical techniques. There are multiple approaches for needle biopsy that target varying spaces within the head and neck while successfully avoiding critical anatomy. In the paramaxillary approach, the needle is advanced through the infrazygomatic buccal space, in between the maxilla and mandible. In this study, we examine the safety and diagnostic yield of FNA without core needle biopsy performed via the paramaxillary approach in 19 patients yielding 20 fine needle aspirates between 2014 and 2022. Of the fine needle aspirates, 85.0% (17/20) were diagnostic. Concordant histopathologic diagnosis was obtained in 100% (17/17) diagnostic fine needle aspirates. There were no postprocedural complications.
