Abstract

1.1. A papillary adenocarcinoma of the ovary is reported, with malignant cells in the vaginal smear of an asymptomatic woman who had no palpable tumor and who was found to have no endometrial or endosalpingeal metastases.2.2. Ovarian adenocarcinoma may be suspected when vaginal smears disclose malignant cells which are not typical of cervical or endometrial tumors, especially when the individual cells suggest adenocarcinoma but without formation of clusters or rosettes. Intermittent appearance of “showers” of such cells in vaginal smears may be characteristic of ovarian carcinoma.
