[Guidelines for the evaluation of internal quality control of smears for screening of uterine cancer in France in the structures of Pathologic Anatomy and Cytology. French Association for Quality Assurance in Pathologic Anatomy and Cytology (AFAQAP)--Commission for cervical smears].

A national organized mass-screening effective programme is the only way to reduce the risk of cervical cancer, if properly organized and correlated with a system of Quality Assurance. Since 1900, an Association for Quality Assurance was created by the French pathologists, named "AFAQAP". These pathologists thus demonstrated their interest in this kind of action that should be effective if women and clinicians are also implied. The pathologists have concluded the first part of their programme with these French guidelines for internal quality control of pap smears.

[Multilocular cyst of the kidney. Characteristics of the imaging appearance].

Investigations in a patient with a multilocular cyst of kidney included urography, ultrasonography and computed tomography. Urography images showed a mass occupying the lower half of the left kidney with a lacunar image of pelvis, the association of these two elements suggesting a possible cancer of kidney. Ultrasound and computed tomography imaging demonstrated the fluid nature of the mass with absent partitioning. Findings were compared with data from the pathologic specimen which showed a main unilocular cyst with multiple satellite smaller cysts and a thick intrapyelic formation composed of microcystic aggregates. Pre-operative diagnosis of multilocular cyst was assisted by the use of modern imaging techniques: ultrasound and CT scan, which demonstrated a partitioned renal cystic lesion. Diagnosis is still difficult in atypical forms, however, and the relative frequency of an intrapyelic cyst protrusion is emphasized.
