Abstract
- Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is very rare and accounts for less than 1% of all gynecologic malignancies.

The evaluation and treatment are similar to that of the ovarian cancer. We have experienced a case of primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube, especially fimbrial portion and report with a brief review of the literature
