Abstract

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a very rare gynecological malignancy and poses a challenge in diagnosis preoperatively. We are reporting a rare case of bilateral primary fallopian tube carcinoma in a 48-year-old lady with classical symptoms. These symptoms are seen in less than 15% of cases. The differential diagnosis for bilateral fallopian tube cancer includes secondary malignancies arising from endometrial, ovarian and gastrointestinal cancers. Although the prognosis is poor. Early diagnosis, optimum cytoreduction and adjuvant chemotherapy are important to improve survival in such patients [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
