Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma and the dominant ovarian mass: clues to serous tumor origin?
MH Roh, D Kindelberger, CP Crum - The American journal of …, 2009 - journals.lww.com
Pelvic serous cancer is a diverse disease, and the assignment of primary site—ovarian,
tubal, or peritoneal—is often problematic. Recent studies indicate that a proportion of these
tumors arise from the distal fallopian tube, originating as serous tubal intraepithelial
carcinoma (STIC). This study examined the relationship of 2 parameters for assigning origin—
endosalpingeal involvement and dominant ovarian mass—in the context of STIC.
Endometrioid carcinomas served as a reference. Eighty-seven consecutive pelvic serous …
