Three Cases of Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Lesions (STILs)

Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma, serous tubal intraepithelial lesions (STILs), and the p53 signature are considered to be related to precursor lesions of high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs). However, the clinical significance and prognostic implications of these lesion types are currently unknown. We diagnosed three patients with STILs according to the morphological evaluation criteria and combined this with p53 and Ki-67 immunostaining. One patient had an HGSC of the ovary that was incidentally discovered at the time of ovarian cyst resection, and the HGSC in the other two patients was characterized after they underwent risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. Herein, we present a report of three patients with STILs diagnosed based on clinical data and pathological findings, along with a review of the literature.
