. A woman is presented in whom cellular atypia and signs of abnormal fibrinolysis in a jet washing caused persistent suspicion of malignancy after a benign curettage. Nearly 3 years later a fallopian tube carcinoma was diagnosed. The value of determination of biological markers of neoplasia in addition to the cytologic interpretation of uterine fluid is emphasized.
