PURPOSE: to analyze vaginal contents using the fresh wet mount of a cytological exam in the first prenatal visit of women with or without genital complaints and correlate the conclusion with the results from the Pap smears. Microscopy during pregnancy should be valued and recognized as a method capable of providing immediate diagnosis in 90% of bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis and trichomoniasis cases. METHODS: a prospective study was performed in 216 pregnant women selected from the prenatal department of a public hospital, between October 30, 2001 and November 12, 2002. Two samples were collected from the posterior vaginal vault and deposited onto two separate microscope slides. To one slide, a droplet of 0.9% NaCl was applied and to the other, a droplet of 10% KOH. Both slides were covered with a coverslip for immediate microscopic evaluation. Tests were perfomed in one drop of the material to examine pH and whiff. The microscopic examination of the material was carried out at a 100X, 400X and exceptionally 1000X magnification. Pap smears were performed in all pregnant patients. The correlation between the results of the utilized cytological methods was perfomed by the kappa coefficient, which evaluates the concordance for quality variables. RESULTS: the findings of the normal vaginal microflora in the fresh wet mount were 7.8%, representing the most observed cytological aspect, and without correspondence with the 3.70% verified by the Pap smears. In the fresh wet mount, bacterial vaginosis was found in 30.9% and candidiasis in 7.9% of the cases. However, in the Pap smears no similar event occurred, the diagnosis being 0.7 and 24.3%, respectively. The absence of a diagnosis correlation of nonspecific bacterial vaginitis by direct microscopy (17.5%) and Pap smears (51.3%) is probably due to the undervalued diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis by the latter method. The diagnosis of trichomonas vaginalis observed in both cytological methods (3.70 and 2.78%) represents a low prevalence of these parasites in the course of pregnancy. The kappa coefficient between the two cytological procedures in the several microbiological findings showed low correlation of the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis with nonspecific vaginitis, as well as the normal vaginal flora. CONCLUSIONS: although the Pap smear presents the best accuracy of the diagnosis of yeast without pseudomycelium, the fresh wet mount has shown to be a better appraiser of nonepithelial cells the vaginal smears. Because Pap smears allow a better evaluation of vaginal epithelial cells, they represent the most important tool to show the aggressions and reactions of the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Luteomas of pregnancy are ovarian pseudotumors diagnosed by ultrasound, during cesarean section or at postdelivery tubal ligation. Twenty-five per cent of the cases appear around the second half of pregnancy. Usually there are signs of maternal virilization and 50% are detected because female newborns show clitorimegaly and/or labial fusion. The concentrations of androgenic steroids in the maternal blood during pregnancy and in the cord blood at child-birth show significantly increased rates. The ultrasound shows solid or cystic-solid structures and few weeks after the delivery they decrease and the ovary size returns to normal. The authors report a case of a patient who exhibited virilization signs in two consecutive pregnancies as well as in the two female fetuses. At adnexal sonographic examination a solid tumoral image was found in both pregnancies. Serum androgen levels were increased.

Massive hypertrophy of the breast in pregnancy is a rare condition, with few cases reported. In spite of the unknown etiology, it seems to be an exaggerated response of the breast receptors to the pregnancy hormones. Although it can happen in any pregnancy, it presents great capacity to recur in all subsequent pregnancies. The rapid and colossal breast enlargement determines pain and the involvement of the shoulder skeleton and muscles. The excessive enlargement may promote necrosis and ulceration of the skin, leading to breast infection. The authors report one case at the second pregnancy, explaining management during the pregnancy, lactation inhibition with bromocriptine immediately after the delivery and the banding of the elevated breast. They also emphasize the importance of reduction mammoplasty a few months after delivery.
