Abstract

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (FTC) is a rare disease which frequently occurs among post-menopausal women. It is often grouped under the epithelial ovarian cancer umbrella. The treatment of choice is surgery and chemotherapy. Our patient was a young teenage girl with recurrent FTC who responded well to surgery and chemotherapy. We discuss on the epidemiology, risk factors, principles of management and prognosis of FTC.
