AB  - The potential relationship between ovulation induction and gynecological cancer 
      has been raised recently. Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is an uncommon 
      malignancy, not previously associated with fertility drugs use. We describe a 
      case of a 38-year-old woman with primary infertility and a history of three 
      ovulation inductions with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and 
      gonadotrophins, referred for treatment of bilateral ovarian cysts, which were 
      discovered in the beginning of the last cycle. During laparotomy, bilateral 
      adnexal masses were identified, presumed to be of ovarian origin, and total 
      abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, infracolic omentectomy, 
      and retroperitoneal lymph nodes sampling were performed. Histologic examination 
      showed a primary right fallopian tube endometrioid adenocarcinoma and bilateral 
      adnexal endometriosis. Surgery was followed by six cycles of combination 
      chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin without significant complications. 
      Although evidence of a direct causal link between ovarian stimulation and PFTC 
      does not yet exist, this case highlights the importance for careful evaluation of 
      all discovered adnexal masses in women undergoing ovulation induction treatment.
