[A case of primary salpinx cancer--diagnostic difficulties]

In this paper the authors presents 55-years old female patient with primary carcinoma of salpinx. The special attention is payed to the possibility of clinical misdiagnosis. The low rate of appearance and not very characteristic symptoms of that type of carcinoma makes final clinical diagnosis almost impossible without intra-or postoperative histopathological study. In presented case, in the first acute appendicitis was recognized and patient was treated surgically. During the operation the large cyst near the right uterine appendages was found and after histopathological examination the primary salpinx carcinoma was revealed. In consequences pan hysterectomy was made with cytostatic all treatment just after the operation. Now, five years has gone and the patient, temporary controlled in dispensary, is still in good condition.
