Cytohistological discrepancies of cervico-vaginal smears and HPV status

Cytopathologic changes associated with intrauterine contraceptive devices. A review of cervico-vaginal smears in 350 women.

Cervico-vaginal smears from 350 IUCD users were analysed to ascertain the range of abnormalities induced in the genital tract of these women. Alteration of the microbial environment, inflammatory, degenerative, reparative and proplastic epithelial changes were the salient cytological findings. The clinical implications of these are briefly discussed.

Uterus Dysplasia Associated with Cervico-Vaginal Agenesis

Müllerian ducts can form upper parts of normal female reproductive system and any failure in ductal fusion may lead to Müllerian Duct Anomalies (MDA). We present a case of MDA, a uterus dysplasia with no evidence of cervical or upper vaginal tissue. This case illustrates the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on MDA diagnosis and urges the need for a unified reliable and practical classif...

Müllerian ducts can form upper parts of normal female reproductive system and any failure in ductal fusion may result in to müllerian duct anomalies (MDA). We present a case of MDA and a uterus dysplasia with no evidence of cervical or upper vaginal tissue.

Cytolytic vaginosis: examination of 2947 vaginal smears.

The aim of this study is to detect the rate of cytolytic vaginosis (CV) cases in patients with symptoms resembling those ones of candida vaginitis and to distinguish them from candidiasis cases by examining of 2947 Papanicolaou-stained vaginal smears. Fifty four of 2947 patients (1.83%) were diagnosed as having CV based on cytologic criteria such as naked nuclei of intermediate cells (IC), the ...
