“…The positive rate for peritoneal cytology in the current study was 41.6%. Detection rates of malignant cells in peritoneal cytology are 25% by Fadare et al, 12 62.2% by Ozkara et al 13 and 20% by Sanchs et al 14 Naz et al 8 reported a detection rate of 76.9% for serous carcinoma, 44 % for endometrioid, and 25% for mucinous carcinoma. Variation in rates may be due to the technique of obtaining cytology, irregular exfoliation of different ovarian tumors, differences in cytopathologist opinion.…”

Objectives: To identify the percentage of ovarian cancers with positive peritoneal cytology and to correlate the positive cytology with the prognostic factors. Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study, evaluated the data of surgical specimens of malignant ovarian tumors, received in the Department of Pathology, Dow University of Health Sciences over a period of three years. The peritoneal cytology was correlated with these prognostic parameters: the size of the tumor, stage, capsular invasion, omental, and lymph node metastasis. Results: Eighty malignant ovarian tumors were diagnosed. Serous carcinoma was the most common ovarian tumor, diagnosed in 24 (30.0%) cases, followed by endometrioid carcinoma in 17 (21.25%) and Granulosa cell tumor in 11 (13.75%) cases. The mean age of the patients was 41.91 years (range 7-71 years). The mean size of the tumors was 10.03 cm (SD 5.62 cm). The ovarian capsular invasion was present in 27 (33.75%) tumors. Peritoneal cytology was positive in 10/24 cases, with a detection rate of 41.66%. Omentum was involved in 12/34 (35.29%) cases. Lymph node dissection was performed in three cases, two were reported as positive for metastasis. Peritoneal cytology significantly correlated with the tumor size (p=0.045), and with ovarian capsular invasion (p=0.054) and omental metastasis (p=0.052). Most of the tumors were staged as FIGO stage IA. Conclusion: Peritoneal cytology correlates with the tumor size, stage, and omental metastasis of the malignant ovarian tumors. It should be routinely performed at the time of surgery for the optimal staging of the patients. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.1.4393 How to cite this:Gulzar R, Shahid R, Mumtaz S, Hassan JA.

“…Various studies have been conducted to determine the detection rate of peritoneal spread by peritoneal cytology that varied with various studies. Gulzar et al reported a cytology detection rate of 41.6%, Ozkara et al reported a rate of 62.2%, and Sanches and Matsubara reported a rate of 20% [ 21 - 23 ].…”

IntroductionOvarian tumors remain one of the leading malignancies of the female genital tract, with a high mortality rate due to their insidious onset and lack of detection at an earlier stage. These tumors metastasize by direct extension into the neighboring pelvic organs; hence, the detection of peritoneal metastasis is valuable for staging and prognostic purposes. Peritoneal wash cytological analysis is an effective predictor of the involvement of the ovarian surface and peritoneal dissemination even in subclinical involvement of the peritoneum. The study aims to determine the significance of peritoneal wash cytology as a prognostic parameter and correlate it with various clinicohistological features.
