“…Clear cell carcinoma is less sensitive to platinum‐based chemotherapy than serous and endometrioid adenocarcinomas and, if it were possible to identify clear cell tumors preoperatively, this could assist the oncology surgeon in making maximal efforts to obtain zero residual disease. The typical ultrasound appearance of different ovarian malignancies has been described in the Imaging in Gynecological Disease series of this journal (see Virtual Issue https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1469‐0705.IMAGINGINGYNECOLOGICALDISEASE). It remains to be shown in prospective studies if different types of ovarian malignancy, including epithelial ovarian cancer, i.e.…”

Ovarian pure clear cell carcinoma is usually diagnosed at an early stage and typically appears as a large unilateral mass with solid components. Patients with clear cell carcinoma developing from endometriosis are younger than other patients with clear cell carcinoma, and clear cell cancers developing from endometriosis more often manifest ground-glass echogenicity of cyst fluid.

“…However, before starting any prospective study, the typical ultrasound appearance of different types of ovarian malignancy must be known. The typical ultrasound appearance of several different adnexal pathologies, including various types of malignancy, has been described in the 'imaging in gynecological disease' series of this journal [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] (also see Virtual Issue https://obgyn .onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1469-0705.IMAGINGINGYNECOLOGICALDISEASE).…”

“…Although the ultrasound findings of tubal carcinoma are nonspecific and mimic other pelvic diseases such as an ovarian tumour or tube-ovarian abscess, several findings may provide a diagnostic clue preoperatively. The echogram may show a cystic mass with spaces and mural nodules, a sausage-shaped mass or a multilobular mass with a cog-and-wheel appearance [31, 32]. …”

BACKGROUND:Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare tumour of the female genital tract with an incidence of 0.1-1.8% of all genital malignancies, and it is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively, because of its non-specific symptomatology. In most cases, it is an intraoperative finding or a histopathological diagnosis. It is a tumour that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer.CASE PRESENTATION:We are reporting a case of a 62-year-old, postmenopausal women with primary fallopian tube carcinoma of the right fallopian tube in stage IA. The patient has lower abdominal pain, watery vaginal discharge and repeated episodes of bleeding from the vagina. The clinical and radiological findings suggested a right adnexal tumour with elevated CA-125 levels. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy and peritoneal washing were performed. Pathologic confirmation of primary serous cystadenocarcinoma of the right fallopian tube was made. Peritoneal washings were negative for malignancy. FIGO stage was considered as IA, and the patient received no courses of chemotherapy and postoperative radiation because she refused it. Ten months after initial surgery, the patient is alive and in good condition.CONCLUSION:Cytoreduction surgery followed by adequate cycles of chemotherapy is an important strategy to improve patients’ prognosis.
