      The cytologic evaluation of free fluid and washings from the peritoneal cavity has been applied in the management of ovarian neoplasms for nearly 20 years. Similar cytologic studies have also been used to assess female genital tract tumors, including endometrial and cervical malignancies. This article discusses the prognostic value of cytology in these three sites. A brief discussion of peritoneal cytology, laboratory techniques, and future applications is also included.
