[Aspiration cytology--endometrium diagnosis of peri- and postmenopausal bleeding disorders].
The aspiration of endometrial cell samples for cytological analysis in comparison to histological diagnosis with a following conventional curettage was evaluated in a symptomatic group of 100 women. The age ranged between 45 to 72 years. In 87% of the detected cytological and histological findings were comparable. In 2% the results were false negative. There was determined a specificity of 88.7% and a sensitivity of 88.2%. The usage as screening method in asymptomatic group of women may be a future interest of the endometrial cytology.
