Our purpose was to test the liquid-based thin layer method on the endometrial cytology. One hundred sixty two consecutive patients before the hysterectomy (55 women because of various causes; 107 asymptomatic postmenopausal women because of prolapsed uterus) had the endometrial cytology (all women) and the biopsy (107 postmenopausal women prolapsed uterus affected). Cytohistologic concordance was 98%: all endometrial neoplasms and atypical hyperplasia (10 cases) and 15 of the 18 (83%) simple hyperplasias were diagnosed by thin layer endometrial cytology. In asymptomatic postmenopausal women cytology gave sufficient material for the diagnosis significantively more often than endometrial biopsy (respectively 82% and 24%; p = 0.000). |
