Fine‐needle sampling (FNS) of 22 acinic cell carcinomas, including 17 primary tumors, 4 local recurrences, and 1 lymph node metastasis was performed preoperatively in 17 patients. Cytologic diagnoses were concordant with histology in 3 (13.7%) cases, whereas 15 (68.2%) cases were cytologically classified as malignant, 2 (9.1%) as suspicious, and 1 (4.5%) as benign (pleomorphic adenoma). The material was unsatisfactory for cytologic evaluation in 1 (4.5%) case. Preoperative FNS technique is, therefore, useful in acinic cell carcinoma with a concordant malignant/suspicious rate of 91%. Diagn. Cytopathol. 1997;17:347–352. © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
