Abstract
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is one of the rarest gynecological malignancies, accounting for 0.18% to 1.6% of all malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive tract. Preoperative diagnosis was difficult due to nonspecific symptoms and signs. This case of primary tubal cancer was diagnosed preoperatively on the basis of ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. We have experienced a case of primary fallopian tube carcinoma before operation and so report with brief review of the literature.
Key Words: Primary fallopian tube cancer, Preoperative, Diagnosis
