    Abstract

    Fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) technique has undergone various modification over a period of time. The technique is relatively painless, inexpensive and produces a speedy result. It was thought to cause cell trauma , altering the cell morphology. This lead to development of fine needle sampling without aspiration which is known as Fine Needle Non Aspiration Cytology(FNNAC). Head and neck region is characterized by proximity of tissues of various types and a wide range of primary and metastatic neoplasms. Hence, head and neck swellings were chosen for the comparative study of the two techniques.
