[The primary cancer of fallopian tube--a clinical case]
Abstract:
The primary cancer of the fallopian tube is only 1% of all malignant diseases affecting the female genital tract. The etiology is unknown and is assessed with untypical symptomatic. It often affects women at age over 50 years old. Recently in literature are described about 1200 clinical cases. The primary carcinomaof fallopian tube resembles the epithelial ovarian cancers, which defines the similarity in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the patients with such type of pathology. We describe a clinical case of 66 year old woman with primary serous low graded cancer of a fallopian tube. The symptoms were presented of dull pains in the lower part of the abdomen and a little quantity of free fluid in the pelvis. The diagnosis is set after a surgical intervention, based on pathoanatomic results. After the radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, lymphadenectomy and omentectomy, the patient is treated with adjuvant chemotherapy with platinum and taxane.
