Exfoliative cytology of in situ and microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.
The histology and exfoliative cytology of 15 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ and 5 cases of microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix were reviewed. The exfoliative cytology in both groups showed no remarkable differences and consisted of large epithelial fragments, cellular strips, groups and isolated examples of malignant columnar cells situated in a necrotic-material-free background.
