Abstract

Primary fallopian tube cancer is the rarest of all gynecologic cancers, presenting as benign pelvic disease or more often as ovarian cancer and almost all cases are diagnosed at operation or autopsy. Primary adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type of primary tube cancer which has traditionally been managed and treated in the same manner as epithelial ovarian cancer. However, unlike ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer is not routinely suspected and treatment may be delayed and also seems to have a worst prognosis than ovarian cancer. We present a retrospective study involving 12 patients with primary fallopian tube cancer treated in our department. The clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment are reviewed.
