Two Cases of Primary Carcinoma of the Fallopian Tube

Abstract

Carcinoma of the fallopian tube accounts for less than 1% of all cancers of the female genital tract. The histology and behavior of fallopian tube cancer are simillar to ovarian cancer; thus evaluation and treatment are also essentially the same. Unlike ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer begins in a hollow viscus, and early lesions may be less likely to be associated with extensive intraperitoneal carcinoma. Two postmenopausal women presented with a pelvic mass. Pathologic examination of the resected specimens revealed primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube. We have experienced two cases of fallopian tube cancer and reported with brief review of literature
