Abstract
Introduction: Cervical masses have probable spectrum of nonspecific inflammation to malignancy and tuberculosis. The object of the present study was to assess a number of cervical neck mass with the role of FNAC to diagnose these lesions. Materials and Methods: The characteristics were noted on pre-outlined questionnaire as regarding local investigation findings, laboratory and history of cases and patients’ personal details. Analysis of every case was depending upon cyto-morphology and clinical evaluation as cytological findings. Results: Out of 520 patients there were 254 (48.84% male and 266 were female cases. Thyroid lesions were found excessive in female (85.91%) compare to male (14%). Occurrence of lymph node was found 56.12% in male cases and 43.87% in female cases, which were slightly more in male patients. The prevalence of salivary gland lesion was found more in male (55%) compare to female (45%). Conclusion: FNAC is useful investigation in diagnosis of cervical masses.

Summary
Cervical masses have probable spectrum of nonspecific inflammation to malignancy and tuberculosis. The object of the present study was to assess a number of cervical neck mass with the role of FNAC to diagnose these lesions. Conclusion: FNAC is useful investigation in diagnosis of cervical masses. Followed along an absolute head and neck investigation the assessment of a case with cervical mass should always undertake aspiration cytology. The FNAC appreciated in the investigation of infective swellings it is clinically useful in neoplastic lesion [2,3]. It becomes the chief analyzer with leading in assessment of swollen nodes in the region of neckline
