在头颈部出现侵及腺体和淋巴结的包块时,临床上经常会遇到诊断不清、治疗方向不明的两难情况。当然通过外科手术取得活体检查材料可以得出明确的组织学诊断,但可能因此而需要更广泛的、并不适当的外科治疗方法;即或在活检时已发现为恶性肿瘤,外科医生也不可能立即进行充分地处理。对这些包块用细针穿刺抽吸取得细胞学的诊断材料则是一种迅速、直接、安全的辅助性诊断方法。 When invading the masses of the glands and lymph nodes in the head and neck, it is often encountered in the clinical dilemma that the diagnosis is unclear and the treatment direction is unknown. Of course, a definitive histological diagnosis can be made by obtaining a biopsy material through surgery, but it may therefore require a more extensive and inappropriate surgical treatment; that is, if a malignant tumor has been found at the time of biopsy, the surgeon may not be able to Properly deal with it immediately. The use of fine needle aspiration of these masses to obtain cytological diagnostic material is a rapid, direct, and safe method of assisted diagnosis.
