Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma: A Case Report

A 63 year old women with complaints of abdominal mass, fatigue and constipation was hospitalised in Şişli Etfal Education and Research Hospital, 2. Internal Medicine Clinic to search for the etiology of ascites. After the consultation carried out at the 2. Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the same hospital, she was internalised in the same clinic with a possible diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma. Following a thorough preoperative evaluation, explorative laparotomy was planned. During the operation, primary or metastatic fallopian tube carcinoma was considered and total abdominal hysterectomy+hilateral salpingo-oopho-rectomy+omentectomy was carried out. No postoperative problem occurred during her follow-up. Since the pathological report turned out to be a primary fallopian tube carcinoma, she was sent to the Radiation Oncology Department with the diagnosis of primary papillary adonocarcinoma of the fallopian tube.
In view of this case report, we aim to look over once more to this rare gynecological malignancy in the light of the literature.
