Abstract
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is most commonly used investigation for evaluation of salivary gland lesions. However, the cytological features may overlap so one salivary gland lesions may mimic other. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common lesion that is confused with other lesion. We report an interesting case which was given diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma on cytology and came out to be adenoid cystic on histopathology.
