AB  - Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare tumor that histologically and 
      clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer. PFTC has a worse prognosis than 
      ovarian cancer as it is not routinely suspected and so treatment may be delayed. 
      The early clinical manifestations and a prompt investigation can often lead to a 
      correct diagnosis at an early stage. The preoperative diagnosis is usually 
      difficult, and most patients with PFTC undergo laparotomy with the presumed 
      diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma according to the presence of an adnexal mass. PFTC 
      can present preoperatively as a tubo-ovarian abscess and it should be considered 
      in the differential diagnosis of acute pelvic peritonitis. PFTC should be 
      suspected by clinicians even if the presenting symptoms are atypical. We report 
      here on two cases of PFTC along with a brief review of the literature.
