AĞIZİÇİ SOLİD YUMUŞAK DOKU LEZYONLARINDA İNCE İĞNE ASPİRASYONUNUN HİSTOPATOLOJİK TANI İLE KARŞILAŞTIRILMALI OLARAK İNCELENMESİ - AN EVALUATION OF FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION (FNA)IN COMPARISON WITH HISTOPATHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS IN SOUD ORAL SOFT TISSUE LESIONS

OZET Vucudun cesitli bolgelerindeki lezyonlarda ince igne aspirasyonu (IIA)'nun taniya yonelik kullanimi oldukca yaygin olmasina karsilik, agiz icindeki lezyonlardaki kullanimi henuz yenidir. Agiz icinde yer alan solid kitlelerde IIA uygulamasinin degerini saptamak amaciyla yapuan bu calismada, 32 lezyondan alman IIA ornekleri histopatolojik tanilarla karsilastirmali olarak incelenmistir. Sitolojik ornekler tani koydurucu hucre ice-rip icermemeleri acisindan degerlendirilmis ve sonucta fibroz doku iceren lezyonlarda IIA'nin basarili olmadigi, buna karsilik gevsek yapidaki damarsal ve iltihap-sal lezyonlarla malign tumorlerde bu yontemin oldukca basarili oldugu ve kesin taniya goturebilecegi ortaya konmustur. Anahtar sozcukler: Solid yumusak doku lezyonlan, ince igne aspirasyonu. Abstract The use of fine needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis oj many lesions in different parts of die body is quite widespread, while its use in oral lesions is very recent, hi the present study, which aims to investigate the diagnostic value oj FNA in solid oral lesions, FNA specimens of 32 lesions were examined in comparison with their histopathological sections. Cytological specimens were evaluated according to the presence of diagnostic cells and in conclusion it was shown that FNA was not very diagnostic in fibrous lesions, whereas in lesions with loose stroma, rich in vessels or inflammatory cells and in malignant tumors, FNA was a very successful method giving a correct diagnosis. Key words: Solid oral lesions, fine needle aspiration.
