Over 500 fine (no. 22) needle aspiration biopsies were done on head and neck lesions. The total accuracy for the series was 94.5 percent. The accuracy rates for thyroid, salivary and metastatic or benign lymph node lesions were similar: approximately 95 percent. Only lymphomatous lesions gave a lower accuracy rate: 75 percent. This method of evaluating masses in the head and neck is simple, rapid, inexpensive, well-tolerated and harmless, and is very accurate when there is close cooperation between the clinician and the cytopathologist.
对头颈部病变进行了500多次细针（22号）穿刺活检。该系列的总准确率为94.5%。甲状腺、唾液腺以及转移性或良性淋巴结病变的准确率相似：约为95%。只有淋巴瘤性病变的准确率较低：75%。这种评估头颈部肿块的方法简单、快速、廉价、耐受性好且无害，并且当临床医生和细胞病理学家密切合作时非常准确。
