Cytomorphologic and molecular analyses of fallopian tube fimbrial brushings for diagnosis of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma

Abstract

The paradigm shift localizing the origin of ovarian high‐grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) to the fallopian tube underscores the rationale for meticulous microscopic examination of salpingectomy specimens. The precursor, termed “serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma,” is often a focal lesion, which poses difficulties for histologic diagnosis.
