Uterine cervical cytology and endometrial cytology of Krukenberg tumor

In the cases of Krukenberg tumor, positive cytology was rarely found in the vaginal or endometrial aspiration smear. In the present study, we report three cases with positive cytology out of ten Krukenberg tumors which were diagnosed during ten years. And the cytological features were discussed. 1)...

Zusammenfassung:In the cases of Krukenberg tumor, positive cytology was rarely found in the vaginal or endometrial aspiration smear. In the present study, we report three cases with positive cytology out of ten Krukenberg tumors which were diagnosed during ten years. And the cytological features were discussed. 1) The cases with positive cytology had cervical or endometrial metastasis combined ascites. The back ground of the cytological smear was clear without the tumor diathesis. The atypical cells consisted with some cells having a large mucus in cytoplasma. The size of grouped cells was trend to be small and many single or isolated cells were observed. 2) The average long axis and short axis of nuclei of Krukenberg tumor cells was 10.36±1.86μ and 7.44±1.39μ. They were smaller than that of nuclei of primary cervical adenocarcinoma.
