Abstract
The diagnostic category “Neoplasm” is divided into two subcategories (1) Benign Neoplasm and (2) Salivary Gland Neoplasm of Uncertain Malignant Potential (SUMP). The former subcategory includes common benign neoplasms which are diagnosed with high specificities such as pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin tumor. Whereas, the latter includes tumors where a specific diagnosis and differentiation between a benign and usually low-grade malignant neoplasm is not possible due to inherent cytomorphologic features or limited cytologic material. FNA cases diagnosed as SUMP will mandate a differential diagnosis which includes both benign and malignant entities. In the MSRSGC, the risk of malignancy (based on the review of the literature) for the Benign Neoplasm and SUMP categories is <3% and 35%, respectively.
