Abstract

Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all cancers of female genital tract. Presenting symptoms are variable and nonspecific, with preoperative diagnosis rarely entertained. The history and character of fallopian tubal carcinoma is similar to ovarian cancer, so the evaluation and treatment are also essentially the same. This case of primary fallopian tube carcinoma was confirmed postoperatively on the basis of the pathologic examination of resected specimen. We have experienced a case of primary carcinoma of fallopian tube and report with a brief review of the literatures.
