AB  - Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare malignancy, but its incidence 
      has been rising during the last decades and varies between 2.9/1,000,000 and 
      5.7/1,000,000. The epidemiology of PFTC has been sparsely studied. In Finland, 
      the incidence rate has been rising during the last decades. The rise has been 
      highest in the cities, in higher social classes, and in certain specific 
      occupations. Parity gives protection against this disease, as does a previous 
      sterilization procedure. Earlier thoughts of a previous salpingitis as a possible 
      promoter of PFTC seem not to hold. Previous infections such as Chlamydia 
      trachomatis infections or human papillomavirus infections cannot be regarded as 
      risk factors. In this chapter, we clarify the possible epidemiological factors 
      behind this disease.
