Abstract

Malignant paratubal cancers have extremely rare occurrence and have not been sufficiently described and discussed in literature. We describe case of an 80 years old gravida 5 para 4 postmenopausal woman presented with pain in lower abdomen and spotting per vagina. USG followed by MRI showed large mid pelvic right adnexal complex predominantly cystic lesion of 8.7×7.1×5.9 cm size with small exophytic solid component (3.1×2.8×2.6 cm). Postoperatively it was diagnosed as a case of high grade paratubal adenocarcinoma (stage T1N0M0). The patient received 3 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and docetaxel. Patient has had no recurrence till date (20 months post treatment).
