Reported in this paper are 1930 cytological routine smears taken from patients on the gynaecological ward. Findings included Pap. III eight times and Pap. IV in nine cases. Histological elucidation of all Pap. IV and the repeated Pap. III findings revealed the presence of six carcinomas in situ, two carcinomas of pavement epithelium, and two severe dysplasias. This shows that cytological routine checks can be meaningful and useful to the patients, even if undertaken in a small hospital.
