Abstract

The case of a 51-year-old woman with a primary carcinoma of the left fallopian tube is presented. Laparotomy performed for an ovarian tumour revealed that the patient had normal ovaries, but a left fallopian tube was dilated and filled with a tumour mass. Histopathological examination revealed primary adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the fallopian tube.

Keywords
