Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the most cost-effective and minimally-invasive way to determine the histological character of a parotid gland tumor.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Objective\u2003To determine the accuracy of FNAC in the diagnosis of Warthin Tumour.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods\u2003A retrospective study conducted between 2014 and 2018. Out of 243 FNACs performed for parotid lesions, a histopathological correlation was established in 74 cases to reveal the accuracy of FNAC in the diagnosis of Warthin tumor.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003A total of 243 FNACs of parotid lesions were performed, and a histopathological correlation was established in 74 (30.4%) cases. Later on, we confirmed that 16 (21.6%) out of these 74 patients had cases of Warthin tumor. In total, 15 (20.3%) out of those 74 cases were confirmed as Warthin tumors on the initial cytology, which revealed a true positive concordance between the cytology and the final histological diagnosis; 55\/74 (74%) were true negative results; on the other hand, 1\/74 (1.4%) was a false negative, and 3\/74 (4.1%) were false positive results. The sensitivity of the FNAC in the diagnosis of Warthin tumor was of 93%, while the specificity was of 94.8%, and the accuracy, of 94.6%.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003In the present study, FNAC had a high diagnostic accuracy, reaching 94%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1715148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,24]],"date-time":"2020-09-24T22:49:06Z","timestamp":1600987746000},"page":"e379-e382","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Role of FNAC in the Diagnosis and Management of Warthin Tumour: Analysis of 74 Cases"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4789-0368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed","family":"Zahran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alexandria Medical School, Alexandria, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sundus","family":"Alsedra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alexandria Medical School, Alexandria, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daron","family":"Cope","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, NSW Health, North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Youssef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alexandria Medical School, Alexandria, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"534","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mlg.0000200741.37460.ea","article-title":"Parotidectomy for benign parotid disease at a university teaching hospital: outcome of 963 operations","volume":"116","author":"O Guntinas-Lichius","year":"2006","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1750","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800831228","article-title":"Long-term follow-up of over 1000 patients with salivary gland tumours treated in a single centre","volume":"83","author":"A Renehan","year":"1996","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1016\/S1368-8375(01)00019-7","article-title":"Warthin's tumour: a study of 78 cases with emphasis on bilaterality, multifocality and association with other malignancies","volume":"38","author":"E Maiorano","year":"2002","journal-title":"Oral Oncol"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oraloncology.2005.10.017","article-title":"Clinical features of cystadenolymphoma (Warthin's tumor) of the parotid gland: a retrospective comparative study of 96 cases","volume":"42","author":"A Teymoortash","year":"2006","journal-title":"Oral Oncol"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1007\/s00428-005-1276-5","article-title":"Tissue that has lost its track: Warthin's tumour","volume":"446","author":"A Teymoortash","year":"2005","journal-title":"Virchows Arch"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"614","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oraloncology.2006.07.006","article-title":"Evidence of lymphangiogenesis in Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland","volume":"43","author":"A Teymoortash","year":"2007","journal-title":"Oral Oncol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diii.2014.11.024","article-title":"Warthin's tumor of parotid gland: Surgery or follow-up?
