- Abstract
Our research focused on the evaluation of the correlation degree between the cytological and histopathological exam, with the aim to identify the advantages and limitations in the application of the two methods. The study group consisted of 28 patients diagnosed by conventional Papanicolaou cytology and routine histopathology exam. The results showed a correspondence between diagnoses with the association of benign cervical, uterine, and ovarian pathologies, sometimes with an upgrade of the intraepithelial lesions in histopathological exam. Conventional and liquid based cytology represent two accessible and well tolerated methods of diagnosis as well as of post-therapy monitorization. The histopathological examination is absolutely mandatory for confirmation of the diagnosis, for upgrade of intraepithelial high grade lesions to carcinoma, and for initiation of any therapeutic scheme.
