Primary High Grade Serous Carcinoma of the Fallopian Tube: A Case Report

A 49-year-old, perimenopausal nulliparous woman with lower abdominal pain and abnormal uterine bleeding. Clinical and radiological findings suggested a right adnexal tumor. CA-125 level was moderately elevated. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was done. Peroperative findings revealed a soft to friable growth arising from right fallopian tube with no involvement of ovaries. Histopathologic examination confirmed it to be a high grade serous carcinoma, FIGO stage IA. The histomorphology resembled high grade serous carcinoma of ovary, however ovaries on both sides appeared unremarkable. Surgery was uneventful and the patient was discharged after seven days of hospital stay. She did not receive postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy and is under follow-up. The case is reported for its occurrence in an uncommon anatomic site and preoperative dilemma with relevant review of literature.

“…The reported overall responses rates are 53-92%. The stage of disease at the time of diagnosis is the most important factor affecting the prognosis [ 6 ]. The other prognostic factors include the residual volume of the tumour after cytoreduction, the presence of ascites and the histologic grade of the tumour [ 6 , 9 ].…”

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.

“…This patient also underwent staging laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy and total omentectomy and pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy and the diagnosis of PFTC was confirmed by histopathology and Stage IC wasmade. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with platinum based combination is the most commonly used therapy for these patients, similar to epithelial ovarian cancer patients [16]. The reported 5-year survival rate for patients with stage I disease is about 65%.…”

Historically, primary fallopian tube carcinoma constitutes 0.3% of all cancers of the female genital tract. But literature suggests that the primary fallopian tube carcinoma may be more common. The true incidence of fallopian tube cancer may be underestimated because of the convention of assigning many of these as ovarian cancer when the site of origin is unclear. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms. Fallopian tube carcinoma clinically behaves like epithelial ovarian cancer and histologically similar to it; thus, the evaluation and treatment are essentially the same. We report here a typical case of primary fallopian tube cancer in a 48 year old female diagnosed as ovarian tumour, preoperatively by radiological imaging but was recognized as fallopian tube carcinoma intraoperatively and was confirmed by histopathology.
