Abstract

About 0.5% of all gynecological malignancies in Sweden are primary fallopian tube carcinomas. Early diagnosis is difficult due to the paucity of symptoms. However, the diagnosis should be entertained in the presence of abnormal vaginal bleeding not explained by gynaecological examination and biopsy of the cervix and endometrium. The possibility of tubal carcinoma should be considered in patients with persistent vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain without apparent explanation. An early case of fallopian tube carcinoma detected by endovaginal ultrasound is described.
