Introduction:
Tumors of the uterine tube are rare pathologies representing less than 1 % of all gynecologic cancers; they are dominated by adenocarcinomas. Secondary metastatic forms are the most frequent, whereas primary tumors are very rare and represent only 10 %, which suggests that the fallopian tube is an organ with low oncogenic potential.
Case Report:
We report the case of a patient followed in the gynecology department C of the CHU IBN ROCHD CASA for a primary tubal adenocarcinoma, with a history of breast cancer.
Discussion:
The diagnosis of its origin is difficult preoperatively, the treatment and staging are the same as for ovarian cancer.
Conclusion:
The treatment is also identical to the management of ovarian cancer, but their prognosis is better because they are most often diagnosed at an earlier stage.
