* Objective.-Although fine-needle aspiration (FNA) commonly is used in the diagnostic workup of parotid gland and level I and II neck lesions, the effect of an FNA service on patient care has not been definitively established.

Methods-Follow-up was obtained in 158 patients who underwent FNA. The value of FNA was analyzed by determining the proportions of cases in which management was altered by the information obtained.

Result.-The percentage of lesions classified by FNA as
