Eleven-year review of data on Pap smears in Saudi Arabia: We need more focus on glandular abnormalities!

CONCLUSION: We recommend that pathologists and cytotechnologists be vigilant in screening Pap smears in our population, particularly for glandular abnormalities. We also recommend use of Pap smears in the initial workup of women with suspected gynecological abnormalities, regardless of evolutions in HPV testing.  LIMITATIONS:The pooling of data instead of analyzing by study year.
