โฆ Synopsis
Fallopian tube carcinoma is the least common of gynecological malignancies. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with a 2ยฝ-year history of intermittent vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Transvaginal sonography revealed a cystic lesion of the fallopian tube with papillary projections, distinct from the ovary and uterus. Doppler examination showed low vascular impedance (resistance index 0.50, pulsatility index 0.80). The suspicion of tubal malignancy was confirmed at surgery.

Among patients with cancer of the uterine adnexa in the 3 Danish Radium Centres, 38 were found to have tubal cancer. 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.
