During a period of 12 years, 874 salivary gland lesions were aspirated of which 740 (86.85%) were from parotid gland. Cystic, inflammatory & neoplastic lesions were 25.25%. 54.45% & 20.30%, respectively. Plcomorphic adenoma was the commonest benign & adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most frequent malignant tumors.On cytohistologic correlation, sensilitvity of cytology for diagnosing cystic, inflammatory, neoplastic lesions proved to be 93.3%. 95.7% & 100% respectively. Overall accuracy for cytodiagnosis of malignant salivary gland lesions in our study was 96.07%.
