Permanent histopathology served as the reference standard. Primary outcomes included diagnostic performance metrics for neoplasm, malignancy, and tissue\u2010specific diagnosis. Secondary outcomes included nondiagnostic rates, complications, time to surgery, and technical factors (needle gauge, biopsy setting, and number of passes).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n CNB demonstrated superior sensitivity (80.0% vs 54.9%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.032), accuracy (86.4% vs 68.5%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.007), and positive predictive value (87.0% vs 56.4%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.01) for detecting malignancy compared to FNA. CNB had superior tissue\u2010specific accuracy (67.8% vs 49.5%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.009), particularly for squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. FNA had a higher nondiagnostic rate (20.0% vs 5.1%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.004). Greater CNB accuracy correlated with \u22653 needle passes and use of 17 to 18 gauge needles. Complication rates were low and similar (3.4% CNB vs 2.1% FNA), with no facial nerve injuries or tumor seeding reported. Time to surgery was comparable (CNB 51 days vs FNA 42 days,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.10) in cases of malignancy.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n CNB showed improved diagnostic accuracy and fewer nondiagnostic results than FNA for parotid masses, particularly for suspected malignancies and complex histologies, without added risk or delay. CNB should be considered in cases suspicious for malignancy or where tissue\u2010specific diagnosis would inform operative planning.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ohn.70305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,3]],"date-time":"2026-06-03T12:36:50Z","timestamp":1780490210000},"page":"632-640","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative Outcomes of Fine Needle Aspiration and Core Needle Biopsy for Parotid Masses"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"175","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3815-8044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa Eleni Chionis","family":"Buhler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9359-7739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Prince","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Bunda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Life Sciences University of Toledo Toledo Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4016-8663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kimberly","family":"Oslin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1846-7189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Allevato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Hershey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4282-0640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven B.","family":"Chinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark E.
