Accuracy of frozen‐section diagnosis in salivary gland lesions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A retrospective study is presented comparing the results of 462 frozen‐section analyses of surgically extirpated salivary gland tumors with the permanent‐section results. The overall agreement between frozen‐ and permanent‐section analyses was 95.7%. A separate review of the last 47 months of this 32‐year study revealed an accuracy rate of 98.8%. Frozen‐section diagnosis of salivary gland tumors has been reliable and clinically valuable in our practice.
