AB  - Definitively diagnosing primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) prior to surgery 
      is difficult. In the first working diagnosis, PFTC is often misdiagnosed as 
      ovarian cancer. Preoperative workups using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are 
      capable of differentiating PFTC from epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCs). Both 
      the sensitivity and the specificity of MRI for identifying PFTC are high. The 
      presence of a hydrosalpinx is a hallmark of PFTC. On MRI, hydrosalpinges have 
      characteristic sausage-shaped appearances due to intrauterine fluid accumulation 
      and fallopian tube distention. Additionally, MRI scans are superior to computed 
      tomography (CT) scans or ultrasound images in detecting tumor infiltration into 
      surrounding organs. Here, we report a case in which PFTC was pre-operatively 
      misdiagnosed as EOC.
