Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a well‐established tool in preoperative diagnosis of salivary gland lesions with diagnostic accuracy of 90%. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common salivary gland tumor comprising 45%–74% of all salivary gland tumors with FNA diagnostic accuracy of 89.5%–96.2%. The aim of the present study was to determine and analyze potential cytomorphological pitfalls and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy in FNA diagnosis of PA.
