Abstract

Objective: Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare entity constituting only 0.2- 1.5% of all primary female genital-tract malignancies. Transitional cell carcinoma of fallopian tube is very rare constituting only around 10% of the PFTC and very less literature have been reported worldwide. Case repor t: A 59-year-old postmenopausal women presented with discharge per vaginum and abdominal distension, and was found to have right adnexal mass on clinical examination. Imaging findings were suggestive of a heterogenous adnexal mass and she underwent staging laparotomy. Post-operative histopathology examination confirmed a primary transitional cell carcinoma of right fallopian tube. FIGO stage was IA, and she received six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient is now alive, after 10-years of initial treatment.
