摘要
Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is a precancerous lesion of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Usually, it arises from the fimbrial end of the tube, and it is associated with metastatic potential. On average, the time to progress from STIC to HGSOC is 6.5 years. Therefore, whenever a STIC lesion is found, surgical staging and prophylactic salpingectomy are recommended in order to prevent ovarian cancer. We report a rare case of a 45-year-old female patient who clinically presented an isolated right inguinal lymphadenopathy. The remaining clinical examination was normal. Therefore, an excisional biopsy of the lymph node was performed. Pathological analysis revealed a high-grade serous carcinoma, most likely of gynecological origin. Due to histological evidence, a computed tomography (CT) scan was carried out. There was no CT evidence of ovarian disease, pelvic involvement, intra-abdominal lymphadenopathies, metastatic disease, or ascites. All tumor markers were negative. The patient underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by surgical staging. Surprisingly, pathological examination showed a STIC lesion in the fimbria of the left fallopian tube. We aim to report the potential capability of STIC to spread particularly through lymphatic pathways rather than peritoneal dissemination.
