Serous borderline tumor of the fallopian tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serous borderline tumors of the ovary are fairly common, making up between 4% and 14% of ovarian epithelial tumors. While to our knowledge serous borderline tumor of the fallopian tube occurs rarely with only ten previously reported cases in literature. We report the case of the serous borderline tumor of the fallopian tumor in a 25-year-old woman and review the literature.

Comparison of the Classical Method and SEE-FIM Protocol in Detecting Microscopic Lesions in Fallopian Tubes with Gynecological Lesions
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to compare the classical method and Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriated End Protocol (SEE-FIM) in detecting microscopic lesions in fallopian tubes with gynecological lesions. METHODS From a total of 1,118 cases, 582 with various parts of both fallopian tubes sampled in three-ring-shape sections and 536 sampled with the SEE-FIM protoco...
متن کاملIncidence of Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma (STIC) by Algorithm Classification in Serous Ovarian Tumor Associated with PAX8 Expression in Tubal Epithelia: A Study of Single Institution in Japan
Serous ovarian carcinoma is now hypothesized to originate from fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). We investigated the FTE abnormalities in the patients with epithelial ovarian tumors. Our study included 55 cases of serous tumors (24 carcinomas, 8 borderline tumors, and 23 adenomas), 14 mucinous carcinomas, 22 endometrioid carcinomas, 5 clear cell carcinomas, and 2 malignant Brenner tumors. FTE wa...
متن کاملThe role of the fallopian tube in ovarian serous carcinogenesis: biologic mechanisms and clinical impacts
Epithelial ovarian tumors, especially serous carcinomas, are a topic of frequent study due to their high prevalence and devastating prognosis. Much of the recent advancements have centered on the newly characterized precursor lesions in the fallopian tube. Although high-grade and low-grade serous carcinomas have distinct molecular pathogenesis and cellular carcinogenetic pathways, a common prec...
متن کاملCarcinomas of Distal Fallopian Tube and Their Association with Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma: Do They Share a Common “Precursor” Lesion? Loss of Heterozygosity and Immunohistochemical Analysis Using PAX 2, WT-1, and P53 Markers
As the role of distal fallopian tube as organ of serous carcinogenesis is emerging, additional literature on the role of tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (TIC) as a precursor lesion in a subset of primary peritoneal serous carcinomas (PPSC is emerging as well. TIC although fallopian tube in origin can be genetically related to ovarian/peritoneal carcinomas. The role of PAX2 in primary fallopian ...
متن کاملGenomic alterations in fallopian tube carcinoma: comparison to serous uterine and ovarian carcinomas reveals similarity suggesting likeness in molecular pathogenesis.
Serous carcinomas of the fallopian tube, uterus, and ovary resemble each other both histologically and in clinical behavior. Comparative genomic hybridization was performed on 20 primary fallopian tube carcinoma specimens to find regions of the genome involved in tubal carcinogenesis and to compare the genomic alterations with those previously detected in serous ovarian and uterine carcinomas. ...
