Unfortunately we did not explain the type of sample collection in “materials and methods” more exactly. The samples includes intraoperative peritoneal washing cytology and cytologies from ascites punctures. In our study we included 941 patients. Intraoperative peritoneal washing samples were obtained in 124 of 203 ovarian carcinomas, in 2 of 2 fallopian tube carcinomas and in 4 of 15 endometrium carcinomas. Ascites puncture were performed in the other 811 patients. For the sake of simplicity we named all of the samples ascites. May be the terminus liquid intraabdominal cytology describes it better. It could be a limitation of our study.
