title: Aspiration cytology of ovarian tumors.
abstract: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of ovarian lesions may provide a definitive diagnosis, particularly when used in conjunction with ultrasound examination and serologic markers. Recent advances permit the use of cytologic material for special studies, such as flow cytometry or cytogenetics, which may add important prognostic information in ovarian cancer.
