dc.titlePrimary fallopian tube adenocarcinoma: preoperative diagnosis, treatment and follow-upen
heal.abstractPreoperative diagnosis of fallopian tube carcinoma is difficult due to the rarity and silent course of this neoplasm. We present herein the case of a 58-year-old woman with primary fallopian tube carcinoma that was diagnosed preoperatively on the basis of a positive for adenocarcinoma Papanicolaou vaginal smear, repeated episodes of vaginal bleeding, negative endocervical and endometrial curettage, characteristic features on ultrasonography and elevated CA-125 levels. The patient was treated by total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpigno-oophorectomy and omentectomy. Pathologic confirmation of primary serous papillary adenocarcinoma of the left fallopian tube was made. Peritoneal washings were positive for malignancy. FIGO stage was considered as IIIb and the patient received six courses of combined carboplatin-taxol chemotherapy. At two years from onset of therapy the patient underwent a modified radical mastectomy and lymphadenectomy because of primary carcinoma of the right breast. The patient was started on tamoxifen therapy, which she is still taking. At 60 months after initial surgery, the patient is alive and well. In conclusion, our study suggests an association between fallopian tube carcinoma and breast cancer and a good response of the patient to platinum-based chemotherapy.en
