Cervico‐vaginal smears from 256 patients with carcinoma in situ and 103 with microinvasive carcinoma were investigated. The malignant cell population was classified according to the predominant cell type into 4 groups; undifferentiated, basal, parabasal, and mature. Carcinoma in situ could not be differentiated from micro‐invasive carcinoma on the basis of the cytologic appearance in smear preparations, not even by detailed cell analysis including micrometric determinations.
