520 3 _aIn making a retrospective study of pap smears of women diagnosed with endometnal carcinoma, we aim to assess the correlation between the endometrial cells on routine pap smear processed via AutoCyte Prep System, and endometrial carcinoma on tissue sections: to see if the degree of differentiation of the tumor contributes to the harvest of neoplastic cells in the pap smears. Based on the results, we have deternrifcd that the degree of differentiation of the tumor is directly related to the presence of endometrial cells in the pap smears, as well as to the severity of the atypia. Using the two way classification for analysis of enumeration data with chi square, we confirmed that the presence of endometrial cells in the cervico-vaginal smears depends on the degree of differentiation of the tumor. Similarly, the null hypothesis that the abnormality demonstrated by the endometrial cells in the pap smears also depends on the degree of differentiation of the tumor cells, is also accepted. Objectives To correlate pap smear findings with the histology of endometrial carcinoma in our local setting. In making a retrospective study of pap smears of women diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma, we aim to assess the correlation between the endometrial cells on routine pap smear processed via AutoCyte Prep System, and endometrial carcinoma on tissue sections: to see if the degree of differentiation of the tumor contributes to the harvest of neoplastic cells in the pap smears.
