Ciliocytophthoria in the cervical smear (author's transl).

Ciliocytophthoria has rarely been described in vaginal cytology. It originates most likely from ciliated cells of the tubal epithelium. The significance or relationship of ciliocytophthoria to any diseases or tumours of the female genital organs is unknown. To detect ciliocytophthoria more frequently in cervical smears clusters of histiocytes have to be inspected under greater magnification.
