About: A major effort to prevent serous cancer in genetically susceptible women with breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutations has recently introduced the practice of risk-reducing prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy. A small number of those who undergo prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy will be found to have occult carcinomas. The majority of these appear to originate in the fallopian tube, reinforcing the theory that a significant proportion of high-grade serous carcinoma pelvic tumours have a fimbrial origin. In addition to this, histopathological and molecular biological characteristics suggest that among other serous carcinomas, fallopian tube serous carcinoma and primary peritoneal serous carcinoma really represent one entity. We present a case with breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2) mutation that was found to have serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) following prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with advanced primary peritoneal carcinoma. This prompted our team to reflect upon the case, review the current literature and recommend a rigorous preoperative assessment and meticulous intraoperative examination for prevention and early detection of high grade serous pelvic carcinomas.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
