- Abstract
Primary Fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare malignancy and is not often diagnosed preoperatively. We present a case of a 67-year old woman who complained of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. After a negative hysteroscopy, transvaginal ultrasound showed a well vascularized solid-cystic tumor in the adnexal region separate from the ovaiy. The presence of an adnexal mass was confirmed by MR imaging. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy, omentectomy and appendectomy, as well as pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy was performed. The pal hoh istologica I diagnosis was poorly differentiated serous adenocarcinoma of the Fallopian tube, FIGO stage IA. The patient was subsequently treated with platinum based adjuvant chemotherapy.
