| Abstrakt: |
Increased attention has been given to cytologic and histopathologic technic in the detection of endometrial lesions because of an increasing incidence of endometrial malignancy. The cervical-vaginal smear as performed by most clinicians is inadequate for the detection of endometrial neoplasia. Existing technics for the detection of endometrial lesions are costly and time consuming. An effective, reliable and economical technic has been developed for rapid smearing and fixation of endometrial cells. The routine endometrial screening of 739 patients (1143 specimens) using the Milan-Markley technic detected 4 cases of endometrial carcinoma, 1 case of carcinoma of the tube, 22 cases of endometrial hyperplasia, and 9 of endometrial polypi. It is hoped that this cytologic method will complement existing histologic detection procedures. |
