    Abstract:
    A new method for obtained cytological material from the uterine cavity with the Exploret-Fatol is described. The results in 38 patients with atypical vaginal bleeding is reported. In 4 women the tight cervical canal necessitated general anaesthesia. In all cases adequate cytological material for examination was retrieved from the endometrium. It was not always possible to differentiate endometrium from endocervical cels by their morphology. Nevertheless all benign premalignant lesions and all malignant lesions of the endometrium were cytologically recognized. This method may find application in many high risk patients and therefore improve the early diagnosis of carcinoma of the endometrium. The methods success depends upon good knowledge of endometrial cytology by the examining cytologist.
