TI  - Primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube as an incidental finding during 
      surgery in a postmenopausal patient with unspecific pelvic pain.
PG  - 597-9
AB  - Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare gynecologic neoplasm and is 
      usually diagnosed late and presents classically with a characteristic group of 
      symptoms. We describe a case of a 76-year-old woman who underwent TVS requested 
      by the family physician due to unspecific pelvic pain. An adnexal mass was found 
      with morphology associated with high levels of CA125 suggestive of a malignant 
      tumor. During laparotomy, a mass located in the left tube was found. 
      Histopathology confirmed PFTC. Total hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy and 
      adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin/paclitaxel were performed. The patient has 
      not yet presented any signs of recurrence.
