Papillary clusters in gynecologic pelvic washes frequently cause diagnostic challenges because they can be associated with borderline or malignant ovarian tumors, as well as benign pelvic diseases. The objective of our study was to review a…

A 4-yr retrospective analysis of cases diagnosed as pelvic endometriotic cysts based on clinical, radiological, and cytomorphological features was collected and analysed. Out of 15 cases, only 3 cases showed the presence of endometrial glan…

Endometriosis is a protean clinical condition that is defined pathologically by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma with associated evidence of bleeding occurring outside of the usual anatomy of the endometrium/uterine cavity. It …

Superficial endometriosis of the cervix, a benign process which may be associated with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) on cervicovaginal (CV) smears, is becoming increasingly recognized on colposcopic examinatio…

The cytological evaluation of ovarian cystic fluid using ThinPrep has not been reported. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of ThinPrep cytology in distinguishing between benign and nonbenign ovarian cystic lesions, we examined 65 fluid s…

Mesothelial cell hyperplasia, collagen balls, endometriosis, and endosalpingiosis are diagnostic pitfalls on peritoneal washing cytology in women who present with gynecologic lesions. Over an 8-month period, the peritoneal washings from 10 …

Endometriosis may be challenging when identified on cervicovaginal smears (CVS), leading to an incorrect interpretation of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), or atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) in…

A case of pelvic endometriosis on touch imprint cytology in a 34-yr-old woman is presented and discussed. Touch preparations of the core biopsies showed both epithelial and spindle cell components. Bland-appearing epithelial cells, arranged…

Our objective was to determine if the finding of benign endometrial cells on a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear of a postmenopausal woman is associated with endometrial/uterine pathology, independent of symptomatology and hormone replacement therap…

Neoplastic or atypical glandular epithelial cells of uncertain significance were reported in the preoperative smears from 10 women with cervical or vaginal endometriosis. Subsequent conization and vaginal biopsy revealed endometriotic tissu…

The use of the cytobrush and other endocervical sampling instruments has resulted in an increasing rate of detection and attention to glandular abnormalities of the cervix. Lesions that have been identified as look-alikes to endocervical gl…

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of ovarian cysts, especially in in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients, has been only rarely reported. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum of cytological findings seen in FNA specimens of …

This, to the best of our knowledge, is the first report of the cytological observation of psammoma bodies in an endometrioma. Psammoma bodies are laminated, calcified spherites, commonly associated with meningiomas, ovarian serous cystadeno…

From 1988 to 1992, 156 endometrial cytologic preparations were procured by directly brushing hysterectomy specimens from premenopausal women with normal endometrium and regular menstruation. These brushing smears were obtained by using the …

The use of endocervical brushes has led to a generous sampling of both endocervical and "lower uterine segment" (LUS) cells. To an unfamiliar eye, the large fragments of endometrial tissue from the LUS may lead to misinterpretation as endom…

The significance of peritoneal washing cytology in the management of patients with gynecologic cancer is well established. Its microscopic evaluation, however, is not always straightforward. Previous studies have identified some of the cond…

Endometriosis is a fairly common disease found in a variety of extrauterine locations. It primarily affects reproductive age women and has symptoms varying from occult to more specific complaints. Occasionally the lesions produce solid nodu…

Seven cases of endometrial mucinous metaplasia and five of well-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were studied. Cytologic specimens were obtained by Isaacs endometrial sampler, avoiding endocervical contamination. Th…

The clinicopathologic features of a case of scar endometriosis are presented. The lesion is unusual in that it occurred in a black woman following tubal surgery for ectopic pregnancy. The case appears to be unique in that the endometriotic …
