Serous carcinoma of the fallopian tube is a serous carcinoma that arise from the Fallopian tube. These are thought to be important in the development of ovarian cancer.[1]

General

May be associated with germline mutations in:[1]

  • BRCA1.
  • BRCA2.
  • ATM.
  • PALB2.
  • BRIP1.

Microscopic

See serous carcinoma of the ovary.
