Why is it important?

If malignant cells are seen on endometrial scraping smears and no cytologic similarities are observed between normal endometrial cells and cancer cells, one should consider the possibility that an extrauterine/extragenital malignant tumor exists.

Perspectives

We could get more information by adding endometrial cytology to endometrial suction curettage on women with suspected malignancies.
