[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.

[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.
