Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Serous neoplasms of the female pelvis share a müllerian phenotype. Unlike low-grade serous neoplasms (LGSNs), high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) commonly display p53 mutations. The current study correlates p53 immunoreactivity in peritoneal washings with the cytologic interpretation and histology of the corresponding serous neoplasm. STUDY DESIGN: Peritoneal washings from consecutive cases of pelvic...
