Abstract
Five cases of primary fallopian tube carcinoma were located in 30 years retrospective study (1965-1994) from the Department of Pathology, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Karnataka. Abnormal vaginal bleeding was the presenting symptom in all the cases. Pelvic mass was palpable in four cases. The diagnosis was not suspected preoperatively in any case. All patients underwent surgical treatment. Laparotomy revealed the presence of a macroscopic growth in the fallopian tube which was confirmed to be adenocarcinoma histopathologically in all the cases. In three cases follow-up is available. Only one patient received postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
