“…This difficulty in obtaining sufficient material has also been discussed in the previous literature (Nauth and Boger, 1982a; Nauth et al , 1987; Dennerstein, 1988; Jimenez-Ayala and Jimenez-Ayala, 2002; Bae-Jump et al , 2007). Whether our brushing technique results in higher cellularity compared with other techniques with a spatula or blade is not clear because studies with different techniques do not use comparable analysing methods.…”

“…The accuracy of cytology largely depends on the presence of enough cells and the ability to recognise cellular and nuclear atypia. Various techniques for vulvar cytology have been described with disappointing results because of scarce cellularity so vulvar cytology is now far from being common practice (Dennerstein, 1968; Nauth and Boger, 1982a; Nauth and Schilke, 1982b; Kashimura et al , 1993; Levine et al , 2001; Jimenez-Ayala and Jimenez-Ayala, 2002; Bae-Jump et al , 2007). …”

“…A scalpel blade [101][102][103][104] was used to scrape the surface cells, with sufficient cellularity to make a right diagnosis. Also premoistened cotton swabs were used to collect material; tumor cells were found in only 57% of the malignant lesions.…”

“…We consider that the terminology proposed by the Japanese authors [9,10] points in the right direction, because it is based on the Bethesda System. There are some points of possible discussion, such as the names of the subclassification of the atypical endometrial cells (ATEC) as ATEC of undetermined significance (ATEC US) and ATEC cannot exclude atypical endometrial hyperplasia or more (ATEC-A).…”
