Sažetak

Cytology has so far been underutilized as a modality for the primary diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Lately the outlookon fi ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has greatly shifted. With the availability of modern techniques, USG and CT guided FNAC is becoming an optimum modality for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic ovarian neoplasms and evaluation of recurrent malignant tumors, which consequently has a great impact on patient management. The most common indication for peritoneal washing cytology is staging or upstaging of ovarian carcinomas (First - look). Second - look procedures nare performed in patients previously treated by surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to determine the presence of residual or recurrent ovarian cancer. In both procedures cytology has proven itself as a useful diagnostic method.
