AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the topography of lymph node spread and the need for 
      para-aortic lymphadenectomy in primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC). METHODS: 
      Twenty-six women were diagnosed with PFTC at Cheil General Hospital and Women's 
      Healthcare Center, Seoul, Korea, between March 1992 and November 2009. Of the 26 
      patients, we retrospectively analyzed 15 patients who underwent complete staging 
      surgery, including bilateral pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS: The 
      median follow-up period was 57.9 months (range, 3-185 months) and the 5-year 
      survival rate was 86.3%. Five (33.3%) patients were diagnosed with FIGO stage I, 
      1 (6.7%) with stage II, and 9 (60%) with stage III cancer. The median number of 
      lymph nodes removed was 53.8 (range, 18-106 nodes). Four (26.7%) patients had 
      nodal involvement: 2 patients with para-aortic lymph node involvement and 2 
      patients with both pelvic and para-aortic lymph node involvement. None of the 
      patients was positive for pelvic lymph nodes alone. CONCLUSION: A comprehensive 
      para-aortic lymphadenectomy was necessary for accurate staging in PFTC.
