BACKGROUND: During reproductive age 75% of women experience at least one episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis, approximately 6% to 55% of healthy women are asymptomatic carriers. In Mexico there are no current data of the frequency of vaginal colonization by Candida in the general population. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of the colonization by Candida species in asymptomatic women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive, open, observational, prospective, cross sectional study was carried out in adult women attending the cervical cytology department at Hospital General Dr. Manuel Gea González in Mexico City. The study was conducted from January to May 2013. RESULTS: There were a total of 150 samples of asymptomatic women between 15 and 77 years (mean 43 years). We obtained positive culture for Candida in 19 samples (12.6 %). 47% of the species corresponded to C. albicans, however, it was isolated other species such as C. krusei in 26%, C. glabrata (21%) and C. tropicalis by 15%. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are consistent with data reported in the literature. It is relevant the isolation of non-albicans Candida species. These findings may be caused by an increase of inappropriate therapies.

Endometrial tissue in the myometrium vessels space, whit no relation to menstrual period, is a rarely reported event. It is unknown if it is part of the natural history of ectopic localization of endometrial tissue or it is related to more or less aggressive behavior of endometriosis. This paper reports two cases: a 35- and 51-year-old women. The first one made suspect a clear cells adenocarcinoma undiagnosed before hysterectomy, because there were no endometrial glands in the myometrium vessels space, but only nest of stromal cells isolated, simulating thrombus of an invasive neoplasm. Since a wrong diagnosis affects the integral treatment of patients, differential diagnosis must be established in order to increase certainty.
