[Cytomorphological characteristics of glandular hyperplasia of the endometrium].

Cytomorphological pictures of smears prepared from endometrial aspirations and scrapings from 50 patients with glandular endometrial hyperplasia were analysed. Different vaiants of cell and tissue structures are described. It was shown that the difficulties in interpretation of smear elements might result from dystrophic and degenerative changes. An attention is paid to the fact that the diagnosis of glandular hyperplasia should be established with due account of patient's age, while the absence of signs of endometrial glandular hyperplasia in curettage specimens, evidenced hystologically, should not be considered as a disproof of the cytological conclusion.
