Role of fine needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma
US-guided FNAB, performed by head and neck surgeons, associated with ROSE, performed by anatomical pathologist, and MD, is highly reliable for diagnosing PA, thus improving clinical management and prioritisation of cases for surgery. This is particularly relevant considering that PA, even if benign, has a significant rate of malignant transformation and multifocal recurrences, creating notable concerns under both an oncological and functional (facial nerve sparing) points of view.
