Fallopian tube correlates of ovarian serous borderline tumors
AR Laury, G Ning, CM Quick, J Bijron… - The American journal …, 2011 - journals.lww.com
Ovarian serous borderline tumors (SBTs) are presumed to originate in the ovarian cortex or
peritoneal surface. The pathogenetic role of the fallopian tube (FT) is unclear; however,
recently, secretory cell outgrowths (SCOUTs) lacking PAX2 expression were described in
benign FTs. This study addressed (1) the differentiation characteristics of SBTs and (2) the
frequency of SCOUTs lacking PAX2 expression in the FTs of patients with SBTs and
compared (3) SCOUT morphology and (4) PAX2 expression with SBTs. SBTs and FT …
