OBJETIVOS: The benign and wicked pathologies of the salivary gland are bound to the characteristic anatomopatologic, which are in permanent revision and whose classification is controversial. The cytology for punction with fine needle it has arisen minimamly as a technique invasive of diagnose tumorous lesions. The utility of the fine needle aspiration puntion has demonstrated to be a method, cheap, sensitive, specify for diagnose of tumour and lesions non tumours and it allows distinguishing surgical cases of not surgical. METHODS: One carries out a descriptive, retrospective, traverse and observational study. 47 histories were revised with diagnose clinical of lesion in salivary gland; the available histological discoveries were revised in 33 cases to establish the correlation citohistologic. RESULTS: Of 47 patients to which are carried out aspired 11 were inadequate and 36 enough or appropriate, inflammatory 3 cases. Benign primary neoplasms was 23 patients of which 17 corresponded to adenoma pleomorphic. 6 cases were wicked epithelial neoplasms, 1 neoplasms lymphoid and 2 neoplasms metastasic. CONCLUSIONS: Fine needle aspiration of salivary gland is a method that helps distingue benign lesions of wicked, primary of metastatic, in this sense pursues, and often allows, to settle down if it is or not of a tumors process, and in this last case, to determine the benign or wicked nature of the same one, its primary or secondary character, facilitating this way an appropriate selection of this salivary pathology in a sense medical o surgery.
