Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma

Abstract

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare gynecological malignancy. Its preoperative diagnosis can be missed or delayed due to the lack of specific symptoms and signs. It is difficult to distinguish from serous epithelial ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal serous carcinoma during or even after operation because they have the same histopathological features. Standard guidelines regarding the optimal management are still not well defined.
