Abstract:
One hundred and twenty-four fine needle cutting biopsies of lesions of the head and neck have been carried out over the last 7 years. While the overall accuracy of diagnosis was 79%, the accuracy of the 43 biopsies carried out during the last 2 years was 93%. These results compare very favourably with published results of the accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology.
