title: [Endometrial cyto-histology by PISTOLET-aspiration technic (author's transl)].
abstract: A modified intrauterine aspiration technic for detection of endometrial adenocarcinoma and its precursors has been described. This method which is simple, inexpensive and requires neither anaesthesia nor analgesia, allows cyto-histologic diagnoses of endometrial lesions. A correct cytologic or cyto-histologic diagnosis was made in 93.9% of the 277 cases examined. Of the premalignant and malignant endometrial lesions, the diagnostic accuracy was 100%.
