abstract: Aspiration cytology of ovarian cystic masses: histologic correlation and review of the literature.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of cytologic evaluation of ovarian cystic masses.
Study Design: Sixty-seven ovarian cystic masses with fine needle aspiration cytology and concurrent or subsequent cystectomy/oophorectomy with histology were examined. Correlations with malignancy were made with 4 parameters: serum CA-125, radiographic size and architecture, and cytology.
