AB  - The aim of this study is to present a retrospective clinical pathological study 
      of 17 cases of tubal malignancies. The 17 cases were diagnosed and treated in our 
      department between July 1985 and July 2005. Clinical information and pathological 
      data were obtained by review of hospital records. Carcinomas were staged 
      according to the FIGO criteria; assignment of stage was made on the operative 
      data and the pathological findings. Four patients had Stage I tumour (23.5%), six 
      had Stage II (35.4%), five patients had Stage III (29.4%) and two had Stage IV 
      (11.7%). The histological type of all our specimens was primary papillary 
      adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube. Initially, all patients were subjected to 
      surgery. Primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC) is a rare gynaecological 
      malignancy, similar to ovarian cancer, but with poorer prognosis. The PFTC should 
      be considered in the differential diagnosis of any pelvic mass. The treatment was 
      surgical followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
