title: [Clinico-morphological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix uteri].
abstract: Clinical and morphological investigation involved 57 patients with adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix uteri (poorly-differentiated (precancerous) cell carcinoma in situ (PAIS)--30; adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)--27). Morphometric measurements using microimaging technique were carried out on 31 cytological patterns. Clinical symptoms appeared non-specific. Cytological examination of smears detected tumor cells in all patients. Predictions for PAIS histotype were confirmed in 83%, cytological findings--78%; AIS--52% and 58%, respectively. Accuracy for PAIS and AIS biopsy was 52% and 32%, respectively. The most accurate data were obtained by histological examination of resected material. However, our procedure failed to detect malignant process in 17.5% (PAIS--6 cases and AIS--4) which was established by use of smears (Feulgen).
