Abstract
With an incidence of 0.1-1.0% of all genital malignancies, primary fallopian tube carcinoma is an extremely uncommon neoplasm of the female genital tract. We report a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman with primary fallopian tube carcinoma confined to the right fallopian tube in primary stage pT2a pN0 G3 M0, who is alive without evidence of disease 2 years after abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, omentectomy and lymphonodectomy followed by an adjuvant cisplatin (70 mg/m2) and treosulfan (5 g/m2) chemotherapy. An accompanying literature review indicates that clinical signs and symptoms of fallopian tube neoplasms are usually nonspecific and include lower abdominal pain. The primary treatment remains surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation. Prognosis is poor, although long-term survivors have been reported.
