From: Serous tubal intraepithelial neoplasia: the concept and its application
A decision tree for unusual tubal intraepithelial proliferations. *Altered epithelium is defined simply as epithelium that contrasts with the background tubal epithelium, such as discrete multilayered epithelium, monomorphic single and multilayered populations, or stretches of epithelium with loss of cilia etc. **Nuclear changes pertain to nuclear enlargement, nuclear molding, nuclear crowding etc. Note that given the morphologic ‘plasticity’ of the tubal epithelium, contrasting nuclear changes may still not by themselves signify a precursor or early serous carcinoma.
