Background and Objective: Primary fallopian tube carcinomas (PFTC) are rare tumors with non-specific clinical presentations. The current case was unique since the tumor was first detected on endometrial curettage and clinicoradiologically was misdiagnosed as endometrial carcinoma.Case Report: A 48-year-old, post-menopausal female presented with one episod...

Since it was first shown (Papanicolaou and Traut, 1941) that the cytological examination of vaginal secretions could reveal unsuspected gynaecological cancer, various techniques for obtaining suitable cellular preparations have been suggested. Davis (1962) introduced the irrigation smear, using a disposable plastic pipette (cytopipette) containing a cell-preserving fluid. The fluid is ejected i...

Ovariectomy of (C57 X NH) F1 mice resulted in estrogen-secreting adrenal adenomas and estrous-type vaginal smears. Parabiosis with intact (C57 X NH) F1 females usually converted the vaginal smears from estrous to diestrous but produced a constant-estrous type smear in the intact parabiont. Ovariectomy of the latter resulted usually in restoration of an estrous-type smear in the tumorous animal ...

OBJECTIVE Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is associated with significant morbidity. Bacterial vaginosis is due to an overgrowth of anaerobic organisms in the vagina. It has been postulated that the presence of Trichomonas creates an anaerobic environment that favors BV. Thus, BV should be more frequent in the presence of Trichomonas if Trichomonas is creating a favorable anaerobic environment. MATER...
