title: [Criteria for cytological diagnosis of colorectal mucosa].
abstract: A detailed description of cytological alterations of the colorectal mucosa in ten different conditions is given. It was based in the study of 150 smears obtained by colonoscopy in cases of inflammatory diseases (80), obstructive lesions (50) and polyps (20). In our hands this procedure proved to be highly reliable, giving a conclusion within a few minutes during colonoscopy.
