      literature.

AB  - Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is an uncommon gynecologic tumor, 
      responsible for 0.14% to 1.8% of genital malignancies, with a mean incidence of 
      3.6 per million women per annum. The factors that contribute to its appearance 
      are not well-known. Overall survival percentages for patients with PFTC are 
      generally low. Although the preoperative diagnosis rarely occurs and it is 
      usually first confirmed by the pathologist, an earlier diagnosis occurs with 
      early clinical manifestation and prompt investigation leading to better 
      prognosis. Both PFTC and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are treated with similar 
      surgical and chemotherapy methods. The authors report a case of a patient with 
      bilateral high grade serous carcinoma of the fallopian tube, whose initial 
      presentation was bilateral cystic adnexal masses and serosanguinous discharge, 
      with no other pelvic involvement. This article also reviews in brief and presents 
      updates of this rare gynecological malignancy.
