Abstract
Primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC) is a rare gynecological malignancy. PFTC can be diagnosed by surgery performed for another reasons. We report two cases of PFTC presenting with different referral symptoms. Both patients were postmenopausal. PFTC was detected after surgery for pelvic relaxation in one case, and after surgery for peritoneal carcinomotosis in the other. The distinction between PFTC and ovarian cancer (OC) is difficult because of the similarity of tumor presentations and histologies. As well as the histopathological similarities, treatment protocols of PFTC and OC are similar. Cytoreductive surgery is preferred in both diseases. Therefore in our cases colectomy besides the complete surgical staging were performed to achieve optimal debulking.
