Cytomorphologic Characterization of Cell Subsets Isolated by Density Gradient Centrifugation from Tumor Effusions of Ovarian Endometrioid Carcinoma

Abstract

The estimation of precise cytomorphologic criteria for cell forms in tumor effusions facilitated the cytologic diagnosis of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. The possibility to concentrate poorly differentiated, frankly malignant cell subsets in low densities could significantly improve the diagnosis of tumor effusions.
