Salivary gland lesions present numerous diagnostic challenges and pitfalls for the practicing cytotechnologist and cytopathologist. Accurate diagnosis of salivary gland FNA specimens is essential for guiding the clinical management of patients which can vary from non-surgical approaches to conservative resection to radical surgery with nerve sacrifice and lymph node dissection. This presentation will help to simplify and clarify the diagnosis of salivary gland FNAs. It will cover key practical aspects of interpreting salivary gland FNA samples and avoiding diagnostic pitfalls. The application of ancillary studies will be discussed as well as an in-depth review of the Milan Reporting System and important updates in the new second edition.
