Clinical analysis of false-negative fine needle aspiration cytology of head and neck cancers.

CONCLUSIONS: We have assessed the quality of preoperative FNA cytology in head and neck tumors. To avoid misdiagnosis by FNA, it is important that the target tumor is punctured accurately. If the specimen obtained is too small, FNA should be repeated. PMID: 30557076 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
