Serous carcinoma is an epithelial malignancy that can arise from numerous sites:
- Serous carcinoma of the ovary.
- Serous carcinoma of the uterine tube.
- Serous carcinoma of the endometrium.
- Serous carcinoma of the cervix.
- Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma.
Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma
General
- Very rare.
Microscopic
Features:
- Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
Note:
- To exclude ovarian serous carcinoma all of the following criteria must be met:[1]
- Histology of the tumour = serous carcinoma.
- Bulk of the tumour involves the peritoneum.
- Ovarian substance tumour extent less than 5 x 5 mm in plane of section.
- Previous ovarian serous carcinoma is excluded.
- Old oopherectomies reviewed if possible.
IHC
- Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
