A rare case report of primary fallopian tube carcinoma in 40 year old female

ABSTRACT

Primary cancer of the fallopian tube is very rare. An average of 20 to 30 new cases are reported each year. The incidence of this cancer varies from 0.14 to 1.8% of all Gynecological cancers. It is possible that the true incidence of PFTC has been underestimated because PFTC may have been mistakenly identified as ovarian tumors during initial surgery and/or during microscopic examination by a pathologist, as the histological appearance of these tumors are identical. Here in we report a classic case of PFTC in 40 year old female.
