ABSTRACT

Primary cancer of the fallopian tube is a rare malignancy of the female genital tract. More than 90% of fallopian tube carcinomas are papillary serous adenocarcinomas, other tumor types include endometroid, transitional cell, undifferentiated, clear cell and mixed. Although no consistent predisposing factors have been identified, the etiology may be similar to ovarian carcinoma. Some studies have demonstrated a similar frequency of structural chromosomal changes to those seen in ovarian cancer, including BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. If there are symptoms, abnormal vaginal bleeding or profuse watery vaginal discharge are the commonest. These may be associated with vague lower abdominal pain, abdominal distension and pressure. Fewer than 10% of women present with the classic description of hydrops tubae profluens: a palpable pelvic mass that resolves during examination and is associated with a watery vaginal discharge.
