SEE-FIM Protocol

Schematic of the components of the fallopian tube (upper right). Below are microscopic images taken from cross sections of the ampulla (left) and longitudinal sections of the infundibulum and fimbria (center right). A focus of early high grade serous carcinoma discovered in the fimbria is seen at the far right. The left panel illustrates the SEE-FIM protocol.

The SEE-FIM protocol is a pathology dissection protocol for Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbria (SEE-FIM). This protocol is intended to provide for the optimal microscopic examination of the distal fallopian tube (fimbria) to identify either cancerous or precancerous conditions in this organ.
