There were 433 FNBs performed among 370 patients. The likelihood of achieving a diagnostic result based on method (US vs palpation guidance) was calculated. Of this cohort, 196 cases had surgical follow\u2010up (parotid gland, n = 168; submandibular gland, n = 28). Correlation of preoperative FNB results to final surgical pathology was performed and measures of diagnostic accuracy computed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>US\u2010guided FNBs were more likely to achieve a diagnostic result than FNBs obtained via palpation guidance (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =. 00002).

FNBs of parotid gland tumors may be assessed with diagnostic accuracy in the community setting that is similar to that achieved at tertiary care centers. Further research is needed to ascertain whether this finding extends to FNBs of submandibular gland tumors. Offering this procedure at point of care in the community may improve compliance and reduce wait time.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2473974x20949184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,27]],"date-time":"2020-08-27T15:05:41Z","timestamp":1598540741000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Diagnostic Accuracy of Fine\u2010Needle Biopsy for Salivary Gland Neoplasms in a Community Otolaryngology Practice"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Harb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Tufts Medical Center Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dara","family":"Bakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Warren Alpert School of Medicine Brown University Providence Rhode Island USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jagdish K.","family":"Dhingra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Tufts Medical Center Boston Massachusetts USA"},{"name":"ENT Specialists Brockton Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599815607841"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jobcr.2012.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.26643"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5858\/arpa.2015-0222-RA"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.27549"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599816643041"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5858\/arpa.2017-0123-OA"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jasc.2015.06.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.23716"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2018.04.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.21821"}],"container-title":["OTO Open"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2473974X20949184","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/2473974X20949184","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2473974X20949184","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T14:05:13Z","timestamp":1760969113000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2473974X20949184"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,7]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/2473974X20949184"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/2473974x20949184","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2473-974X","2473-974X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2473-974X","type":"print"},{"value":"2473-974X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,7]]},"article-number":"2473974X20949184"}}
