IntroductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of estradiol-producing ovarian tumors, including surface epithelial-stromal tumors, on the cervical cytology of postmenopausal women.MethodsThis case-controlled study included 160 postmenopausal women who underwent a gynecological surgery between January 2009 and December 2016. The relationship between serum estradiol levels and the maturation index of cervical cytology was examined. Patients with ovarian tumors and a high estradiol level (≥ 28 pg/mL) constituted the estradiol-producing ovarian tumor group (30 women, including 23 with surface epithelial-stromal tumors). The maturation index of this group was compared with that of the control group (130 women with normal estradiol levels [< 28 pg/mL] with either ovarian tumors or uterine tumors).ResultsFor all patients, the serum estradiol levels were significantly correlated with the maturation index (p< 0.001, r= 0.65). The maturation index of the estradiol-producing ovarian tumor group was significantly higher than that of the control group (0.67±0.21 vs. 0.075±0.16, p< 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the maturation index was 0.94. The best maturation index cut-off level for estradiol-producing ovarian tumors was 0.20. Using this cut-off, the sensitivity and specificity were 94% and 82%, respectively.ConclusionEstradiol-producing ovarian tumors influence cervical epithelial maturation in postmenopausal women. An increased maturation index may trigger the early detection of asymptomatic ovarian tumors.
