OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to compare final pathology results with ultrasonography (USI) and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) results in parotis masses. METHODS: A total of 123 patients with primary parotis mass who applied to our center between 2010 and 2020 were selected for the study. Among these, 100 patients with preoperative USI, preoperative FNAB, and postoperative final pathology were included in the study. USI, FNAB, pathology results, surgery types, and demographic characteristics of the patients were analyzed. RESULTS: According to the postoperative final pathology, preoperative USI sensitivity was found to be 100%, specificity was 55, positive predictive value was 84.31%, negative predictive value was 100%, and accuracy was 86.89%. Preoperative FNAB had a sensitivity of 85.7%, a specificity of 92.1%, a positive predictive value of 82.1%, a negative predictive value of 90.2%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 89.3%, according to the postoperative final pathology. CONCLUSION: Preoperative USI and preoperative FNAB are very valuable diagnostic tools in the evaluation of parotis lesions. When used together, they provide highly accurate and important data for the surgeon.
