Resumo(s)
Benign and malignant head and neck tumors are common worldwide and cause mortality and morbidity with variations in population prevalence. Obviously, a correct diagnosis is of paramount importance for choosing the appropriate treatment and offering a correct prognosis.
There are many types of diagnoses, such as provisional or working diagnosis, diagnosis by exclusion, diagnosis ex juvantibus, provocative diagnosis, direct diagnosis, deductive diagnosis, physical diagnosis, laboratory diagnosis, differential diagnosis, clinical diagnosis, cytologic diagnosis, frozen-section diagnosis, molecular diagnosis, pathologic diagnosis, and final or permanent section diagnosis [1]. In particular, a qualitative diagnosis is made by a pathologist, whereas a quantitative diagnosis, such as the identification of a mass lesion and the estimation of tumor volume using 3D imaging, is provided by a radiologist using modern imaging techniques, including CT or MRI.
