Summary
Carcinoma of the fallopian tube is the least frequent of the gynaecological carcinomas, representing between 0.8 and 1.5% of all of them. Diagnosis is not usually made pre-operatively, but casually during examination of surgical specimens. The average age of the patients is around 60 years. We review the cases of carcinoma of the fallopian tube diagnosed in our Gynaecology Department in the years 1993-2002. The mean age of the patients was 65.5 years. The most frequent symptoms were vaginal bleeding, followed by abdominal mass and pelvic pain. None of the cases was diagnosed pre-operatively, 60% were Stage I, 20% were Stage II, and 20% were Stage III, according to FIGO clssification. Surgery was used in 30% of the cases and 60% received adjuvant chemotherapy with Cisplatin. We collect the clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and evolution of the patients.
