Abstract: | Eighty-seven fine needle aspiration cytological samples from 29 patients suffering from irregular perimenopausal uterine bleeding were evaluated. Aspiration cytology was performed prior to hysteroscopy, after distension of the uterine cavity and finally after uterine curettage. In this paper, cytological examination of fluid from the pelvic content in women with benign endometrial findings is compared with that of patients with adenocarcinoma. Endometrial curettage influenced the cell content of the cytologica specimens. |
