During the study period, 346 peritoneal washings were collected. A gynecologic malignancy was diagnosed in 119 cases. Only 19 (16%) of the gynecologic malignancies had malignant findings in peritoneal washing cytologic studies, and in 9 cases (47%), an increase in stage was based solely on the malignant cytologic diagnosis. These results confirm the impact of peritoneal washing cytology on treatment strategy and management of patients with gynecologic malignancies.
