Abstract

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is extremely rare with an estimated incidence of 0.41/100000 population. It has been documented that commonest histopathologic type observed is High grade serous carcinoma . These tumors are often diagnosed at an advanced stage and are very difficult to diagnose preoperatively.We present a case of high grade serous carcinoma of fallopian tube in a 38 year old female. Histological picture was consistent with High Grade Serous Carcinoma of Fallopian tube. Early suspicion and workup lead to the diagnosis at an early stage . An elaborate research should be carried out to understand the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of Primary fallopian tube carcinomas.
