AB  - Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is an extremely uncommon neoplasm of the female 
      genital tract. Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma (PFTC) has a clinical and a 
      histological resemblance to Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC). We are reporting a 
      case of PFTC in a 55 year old tubectomized, postmenopausal woman with the 
      non-specific complaints of a watery vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain. 
      The clinical and radiological findings suggested a bilateral tubo-ovarian 
      abscess. On laprotomy, a bilateral fallopian tube tumour was seen, with a focal 
      extension to the surface of the right ovary from the right fallopian tube. Total 
      abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy andomentectomy, along with excision 
      of the draining lymph nodes, was done. The histopathological examination revealed 
      a bilateral papillary serous carcinoma of the fallopian tube. The patient was 
      treated with adjuvant chemotherapy with Paclitaxel. There was no evidence of any 
      recurrence, after 2 years of regular follow up. The clinical signs and symptoms 
      of fallopian tube neoplasms are usually non-specific. The primary treatment 
      remains a surgical resection, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation. The 
      prognosis is poor, although long-term survivors have been reported.
