Abstract
- Primary choriocarcinoma of the fallopian tube has been known for 4% of choriocarcinoma also 1.7% of gestational trophoblastic disease. Its symptom and sign in presentation are similar to the ectopic pregnancy or adnexal mass, thus it is confirmed through histopathological descriptions after explolaparotomy or laparoscopy. Mostly it is common in younger women who are reproductive, we have done conservative surgery followed by chemotherapy. After that, the prognosis was good. We have experienced a case of primary choriocarcinoma of the fallopian tube and reported with a brief review.
