Experience in Using Liquid Cytology in the Diagnosis of Endometrial Pathologies

Abstract

The Average age of the women surveyed was 36.8±1.7 years. All the women had a history of childbirth. Medical abortions in 52 women. Complications after a medical abortion in 18. Uterine fibroids in 20 women. The coincidence of the cytological conclusion and histological examination was noted in 47 (53.4%) observations. In 41(46.6%) cases, the findings of histological examination and liquid Cytology did not match. Out of 7 cases histologically diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma, the result of liquid Cytology coincided with the histological conclusion only in 3 (42.9%) cases. In the presence of endometrial hyperplasia (37 cases), according to histological research, the identical pathology was confirmed by liquid Cytology only in 12 (32.4%) cases [3]. Atrophic endometrium was detected in 39 women based on histological examination. Cytological confirmation of the histological result of the study in these women was confirmed in 22 (56.4%) cases.
