Abstract

|
|
Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is exceedingly rare, accounting for 0.3 percent of female genital tract cancer. It is usually unilateral, but 20 percent of cases are bilateral. It occurs most commonly in women between 40 and 60 years old. Approximately 50 percent of the patients are nulliparous. Because of variable presenting symptoms and rarely incidence, preoperative diagnosis of fallopian tube carcinoma is seldom made. Evaluation and treatment are also essentially the same at that of ovarian carcinoma. We experienced a case of bilateral primary fallopian tube carcinoma in women presented with vaginal bleeding and pelvic mass, postoperatively pathologic examination of resected specimen after laparatomy and reported with brief review of literature.
