We report two cases of primary carcinoma of the ovary in which 'ciliated' adenocarcinoma cells were found in the ascitic fluid. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that these were not true cilia but rather a prolific growth of abnormal microvilli. The cytological findings were compared with the histological appearances of the primary tumour. No ciliated cells were seen in the primary tumour, suggesting that the formation of the microvilli represented an independent proliferation of the cells in the fluid. Special staining reactions for mucin, alkaline phosphatase and epithelial membrane antigen were identical in the primary tumour and the cells in the ascitic fluid.
