Sumario:This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and of its contribution to the management of parotid tumors. We conducted a retrospective study of 47 patients who had undergone parotidectomy as well as preoperative fine needle aspiration biopsy. The study highlighted that eighty one percent of patients had a benign tumor while 19% of patients had a malignant tumor. The sensitivity and specificity of FNAB were 78% and 92% respectively. Parotid tumors were correctly classified as malignant or benign in 89% of cases, overall accuracy was 64.4%. FNAB is a reliable examination providing preoperative informations about the treatment plan and the postoperative course.
