Abstract
1.Adenocarcinoma cells were observed on cellular samples by brushing Smear from the uterine cavity, which were found originated from the left tubal adenocarcinoma at the relatively earlier stage, but this case had been clinically diagnosed as adeno carcinoma of the uterine body.
2.Cytologic features of adenocarcinoma of the tubal origin were summarized as follows:
1) Tree like appearance and/or grape formation.
2) Cytoplasma, relatively scant, but with marked vacuoles observed.
3) Nucleoli, not prominent.
3. As regards adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube, the rate of positive cytology, calculated from data, furnished by reported papers, is approximately 39.4%, which motivates us to realize the importance of cytology for the tubal carcinoma.
