The diagnosis is di5cult; the most important factor in early recognition is to bear in mind the possibility of tubal cancer when dealing with patients in the high-incidence age group.

Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube has previously been described as either a complex, predominantly solid or a totally solid adnexal mass on ultrasound examination.' The present case is an example of this rare tumor appearing as a complex, predominantly cystic mass.
## Short -term cultures from a primary carcinoma of the Fallopian tube, a tumor type not characterized before by chromosome banding, were examined cytogenetically. Complex chromosome aberrations were found in all mitoses, yielding the karyotype 41,XX,del(I)(p34),de1(2)(q31),i(8)(qI0),-9,+dic(9;I9)
T h e diagnosis of primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is rarely made preoperatively, so that no system of clinical staging can be devised. Nevertheless, the anatomic extent of the tumor found a t operation can provide useful prognostic information. A staging system utilizing clinicopathologic s
