Popis: Summary: One hundred and ten fine needle aspirations were performed on 73 patients with primary and recurrent gynaecological cancers. The sampling sites included superficial and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, soft tissue masses, liver, lungs, abdominal and pelvic masses, parametrium, thyroid and breast nodules. This relatively simple, safe and yet reliable technique can obviate the need for biopsies in most situations, and a more liberal use of aspiration cytology in gynaecological malignancies is advocated.
