A survey of the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration cytology in ENT practice was carried out over a 3-year period. The 119 aspirates were taken from a variety of head and neck sites and examined by an experienced cytopathologist. Cytology was accurate in 111 (93 per cent), with two false negative aspirates (1.7 per cent) and no false positive results. There were no complications and the technique was found to be a rapid, safe and cost-effective diagnostic tool.
在三年时间里，对细针穿刺细胞学检查在耳鼻喉科临床实践中的诊断价值进行了一项调查。119份穿刺样本取自头颈部的不同部位，并由一位经验丰富的细胞病理学家进行检查。细胞学诊断准确的有111例（93%），有2例假阴性穿刺样本（1.7%），无假阳性结果。未出现并发症，且该技术被发现是一种快速、安全且具有成本效益的诊断工具。
