The objective of this study was to obtain results of the benefits and confidence of FNAC. Of the 120 studied cases there was a coincidence of malignance in 110 (91.66%), true positive cases (VP) = 53, true negative cases (VN) = 57, false positive (FP) = 1, false negative (FN) = 9. In those tumours exclusively found in the neck area, in the parotide gland, tumours of the scalp the diagnosis was certain for 100% of cases studied.
