However, interpreting cytology results of salivary gland FNACs can be difficult due to the wide variety of lesion morphologies and overlapping features among different tumour subtypes. To address this challenge, the \u201cMilan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology\u201d (MSRSGC) was introduced to aid in diagnosis, management, and to determine the risk of malignancy (ROM) across different categories. Our study aims to assess the cytological spectrum of salivary gland lesions on fine needle aspiration cytology and evaluate the diagnostic utility of MSRSGC with histological correlation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cytology slides of FNAC over an 11\u2010year retrospective period were retrieved, reviewed and categorized based on the MSRSGC.

All cases were clinically followed up, and histopathological correlation was available for 34 cases. The overall specificity for diagnosis of neoplastic lesions on cytology was 71.40%, sensitivity was 96%, and accuracy was 90.63%. The specificity for diagnosis of malignant lesions on cytology was 95.83%, sensitivity was 100%, accuracy was 96.29%, positive predictive value was 75%, and negative predictive value was 100%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FNAC is an excellent, non\u2010invasive and resource\u2010efficient tool for diagnosing salivary gland lesions.
