Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma
Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma, abbreviated STIC[1] (pronounced stick), is considered to be the precursor of serous carcinoma.

It is also known as tubal intraepithelial carcinoma.
General
- Considered the precursor lesion for tubal serous carcinoma.[2]
- Seen in ~6% of prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomies in BRCA-mutation carriers.[3]
Gross
- Not apparent on gross.
- Usually at the fimbriated end of the tube.
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Discrete papillary growth - low power.
- Formal criteria - need 3 or more:
- Atypical chromatin pattern.
- Nuclear enlargement.
- Nuclear pleomorphism.
- Nuclear moulding.
- Loss of nuclear polarity or epithelial stratification.
Notes:
- At low power STIC is usually tall cells that are too blue.
- Cilia suggest benign.
DDx:
- Atypical tubal lesion (STIL or TILT) - lack proliferation.[citation needed]
