Popis: Approximately 12% of routinely examined fallopian tubes of endometrial carcinoma (EC) cases have intraluminal tumor cells (ILTCs). ILTC associations with EC characteristics and outcomes are understudied, and unknown in serially examined and embedded tubal fimbriae. Glass slides of serially examined and embedded tubal fimbriae for 371 EC cases were independently reviewed by 2 pathologists who recorded ILTC presence and characterized them as mucosal if involved and floating if not. Disagreements were reviewed by a third pathologist, and agreement between any 2 determined final ILTC status. Clinico-pathologic associations and ILTC presence were tested for significance (P
