[Enterobius vermicularis and pollen granules in cytologic gynecologic smears]

The presence of the eggs of Enterobius vermicularis in cytologic gynecological smears is described, as well as the granules of pollens whose presence in cytologic smears is of no significance from the clinical standpoint but they may become a diagnostic problem, because by their size and appearance they may at first sight misleadingly be considered as the eggs of a parasite.
