Abstract
The salivary glands cytology is one of the most challenging area in cytopathology because of the wide diversity of benign and malignant tumors also because of their heterogeneity. However, fine needle aspiration cytology, with magnetic resonance imaging, represents a first-line examination to guide a possible surgical procedure and its extent. An accurate diagnosis of a specific tumor is sometimes difficult to assess in cytology. Also, as for gynecological, thyroid or urinary cytologies, a panel of experts met to develop a cytological classification of salivary gland lesions associated with a risk of malignancy and management proposals. The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology was published in 2018. The French Society of Clinical Cytology (SFCC) offers here an official summarized French version oh this terminology and recommends its use.
