TI  - Isolated sigmoid colon metastasis from a primary fallopian tube carcinoma: a case 
      report.
PG  - 585-7
AB  - Isolated metastasis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is extremely rare. 
      We describe a case of a 41-year-old asymptomatic woman who was referred three 
      years after the initial treatment for PFTC due to elevated sertum CA-125 levels. 
      The abdominal and pelvic CT scans revealed a pelvic mass near the top of the 
      vaginal vault. On surgery, a sigmoid colon tumour was found and a sigmoidectomy 
      was performed. On histopathology the tumour involved the bowel wall from serosa 
      to submucosa, without involvement of the underlying mucosa. Immunohistochemical 
      staining was positive for cytokeratin 7 and negative for cytokeratin 20, and the 
      tumour was determined to be a metastatic mullerian neoplasm, consistent with the 
      initial PFTC. Although this is the first reported case of colon metastasis of 
      PFTC, the possibility of such an unusual site of metastasis should be kept in 
      mind, as PFTC may recur as isolated bowel lesions even in the absence of 
      peritoneal disease.
