Primary High-grade Serous Carcinoma of the Fallopian Tube as an Incidental Intraoperative Finding: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
: Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is a rare, but fatal gynecologic cancer. The preoperative diagnosis this challenging due to absence specific symptoms and signs, in most patients, it an intraoperative finding. A 55-year-old patient (G3Ab1P2) was referred urogynecology clinic our hospital with chief complaints heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding persistently abnormal yellow discharge, which could not be distinguished by from urinary leaks. After complete diagnostic work-up, identified as candidate for hysterectomy vaginal resistant megestrol acetate, family history malignancy, discharge. Laparotomy revealed unusual left features (large, bulky, vegetative), suggesting malignancy. frozen-section analysis ovarian specimens indicated mass high-grade serous tube. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, partial omentectomy were performed patient. definitive histopathological (stage 2b) omental involvement, without any evidence lymphovascular invasion. High-grade likely have non-specific symptoms, causing significant delay treatment, negatively affects prognosis survival these patients.

متن کاملReconstitution of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma from primary fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells
Fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells (FTSECs) have been suggested to be the source of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Although several genetic alterations are known to be involved in HGSOC development, the minimal requirements remain unclear. We aimed to identify oncogenic mutations indispensable for HGSOC development in a stepwise model, using immortalized FTSECs. FTSECs were...
متن کاملModeling high-grade serous ovarian carcinogenesis from the fallopian tube.
High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is a lethal disease for which improved screening and treatment strategies are urgently needed. Progress in these areas is impeded by our poor understanding of HGSOC pathogenesis. Most ovarian cancer research is based on the hypothesis that HGSOC arises from ovarian surface epithelial cells. However, recent studies suggest that >50% of high-grade serou...
