Fifty one cases of Papanicolaou grade, I, II, III and 49 of IV, V were studied for cytopathologic diagnosis in cervical and uterine curet smears. The cervical glandular erosion, metaplasia and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, as well as histologic types of carcinomas, which were not distinguished by diagnosis of Papanicolaou grades, were determined by cytopathologic diagnosis. Therefore, the papanicolaou method of cytologic diagnosis should be gradually replaced by cytopathologic diagnosis.
