Bilateral Primary Fallopian Tube Adenocarcinoma – A Rare Case
Keywords:
Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma, Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy
Abstract
Although fallopian tubes are a common site of metastases, primary fallopian tube carcinoma is considered a rare disease and is often mistaken histologically and clinically for ovarian cancer. The etiology is poorly understood and presenting symptoms are variable and non-specific, with preoperative diagnosis rarely entertained. We put forth our experience of a case of bilateral primary fallopian tube carcinoma which was histopathologically diagnosed after being misinterpreted on ultrasonography.
