Primary Bilateral Fallopian Tube Adenocarcinoma - A Case Report

Abstract

Cancer of the fallopian tube accounts for <0.1% of all gynaecologic cancers. Primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube is usually unilateral , extremely rare that clinically and histologically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).It is more common for cancer to spread or metastasize from ovaries or endometrium, than for cancer to actually originate in the fallopian tubes. Some of the common symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge and pelvic mass which are present in up to two-thirds of patients and may mimic those of other gynecological problems. So we are presenting a rare case of stage IB primary fallopian tube cancer which is difficult to diagnose early.
