Abstract
Exfoliative cytology plays an important roie in the diagnosis of cervical malignancy, being of particular value in the detection of pre-invasive lesions of the cervix (Soostetal., 1981). The incidence of cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia is increased among the chronically infected lacerated cervices with benign lesions like polypi and cervices that bleed on touch, such cervices are known as unhealthy looking or suspicious cervices. The frequent occurance of specific infections like viral, monilial and tri-chomonal infections are initially related to such neoplastic lesions, if cases diagnosed by cyto pat ho logical examination as intraepithelial neoplasia are submitted for colposcopic examination and colposcopic guided biopsy to ensure the diagnosis, this will change the prognosis as far as the future outlook of the patient is concerned (Jones, 1983). The aim of this work is to carryout a cytodiagnostic screening for women attending the gynaecologic outpatient clinic of Mansoura University Hospital and suffering from cervical erosions (aversions) or suspicious cervices for detection of cellular abnormalities in the form of dysplasias and for early diagnosis of malignancy.
