Overview
Other diagnostic studies associated with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may include: fine needle aspiration biopsy and incisional biopsy.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies associated with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may include:[1]
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important diagnostic tool for the preoperative assessment of salivary gland lesions and it helps the clinician to plan further management. The procedure is safe and economical with acceptable diagnostic accuracy, especially in experienced hands. However, the employment of FNA for the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions remains controversial with the opponents stating that it has a high false negative rate and may fail to diagnose specific tumor type.[2][3]
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy is the most common type of biopsy used for salivary gland cancer.
- Incisional biopsy
