Brush cytology of the fallopian tube

Objective: Recent evidence suggests that many high-grade “ovarian” serous carcinomas (HGSC) are associated with epithelial precursors in the fallopian tube (FT). Such tubal intraepithelial carcinomas are observed in salpingectomy specimens obtained at risk-reducing surgery in BRCA-positive women. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytomorphology of cells obtained from the FT.
