Abstract
Squamous cells are common findings on cytological examination of fluid obtained following transvaginal aspiration of simple ovarian cysts. T his prospective study confirms the hypothesis that these cells are com monly introduced as contaminants during puncture of the vaginal wall. The occasional finding of bacteria also suggests a possible mechanism for post-operative pelvic infection.
