papillary serous carcinoma


Explanation:
They mean papillary serious carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma (papillary only qualifies the first carcinoma)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7883423
"Early pathologic stage clear cell carcinoma and uterine papillary serous carcinoma of the endometrium: comparison of clinicopathologic features and survival.

Carcangiu ML, Chambers JT.
Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520-8070.
Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) are aggressive variants of endometrial carcinoma that may coexist or share some clinicopathologic features suggesting a similar biologic spectrum and the need for a common therapeutic approach."

serous carcinoma only


Explanation:
I think the adjective papillary refers ONLY to the serous carcinoma. I believe they are two different disease or symptoms.
