Summary: Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnosis of neck masses. Study design: Retrospective study. Materials and Methods: Analysis of 181 neck FNAB performed in Hospital Prof. Doutor Fernando Fonseca between 2011-216. Results: The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of FNAB for detection of malignant disease was 88.6% and 96%. The sensitivity for detection of squamous cell carcinoma was 100%, non-squamous cell carcinoma 86.2% and lymphoproliferative disorders 86.4%. The sensitivity for detecting malignant disease in patients under 40 years of age was 77%. Conclusion: FNAB is a reliable method in the diagnosis of neck masses given its excellent parameters of diagnostic validity. However, the sensitivity for detecting malignant disease in patients under 40 years of age is lower, since in this population the proportion of patients with lymphoproliferative disorders is higher and FNAB has a lower diagnostic sensitivity for these entities.

Desenho de Estudo: Estudo retrospectivo. Materiais e Métodos: Análise de 181 PAAF realizadas em massas cervicais no Hospital Prof. Doutor Fernando Fonseca entre 2011-2016. Resultados:  A sensibilidade e especificidade diagnósticas da PAAF para deteção de doença maligna foram 88.6% e 96%. A sensibilidade para deteção de carcinoma pavimentocelular foi 100%, de carcinoma não-pavimentocelular 86.2% e de doença linfoproliferativa 86.4%. A sensibilidade para deteção de doença maligna em doentes com menos de 40 anos foi 77%. Conclusões: A PAAF é um método fiável no diagnóstico de massas cervicais, apresentando excelentes parâmetros de validade diagnóstica. Contudo, a sensibilidade para deteção de doença maligna em doentes com menos de 40 anos é inferior, uma vez que nesta população a proporção de doentes com doença linfoproliferativa é maior e a PAAF tem menor sensibilidade diagnóstica para esta entidade.Sociedade Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço2021-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.918https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.918Portuguese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery; Vol. 59 No. 3 (2021): September; 255-259Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 59 Núm. 3 (2021): Setembro; 255-259Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia-Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 59 N.º 3 (2021): Setembro; 255-2592184-6499reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2887https://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2887/909Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoçoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRaposo, DiogoMenezes, MarcoCarvalho, LilianaTrindade-Soares, MafaldaFerreira, MarcoFreire, Filipe2024-06-06T13:00:40Zoai:journalsporl.com:article/2887Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:54:30.170730Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
