Abstract
- Carcinoma of the fallopian tube account for less than 1% of all cancers of the female genital tract. Central nerve system involvement by tubal cancer is considered an uncommon event. Attention should be paid to the possibility of distant metastasis associated the tubal carcinoma in order to treat these patients promptly. We have experienced one case of fallopian tube cancer with cerebellar metastasis and reported with brief review of literature.
