Fallopian Tube Carcinoma Presenting As Adnexal Cyst.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Historically, carcinoma of the fallopian tube accounted for 0.3% of all cancers of the female genital tract .Very often, the diagnosis is mistaken for an ovarian carcinoma or a tubo-ovarian mass. A correct, preoperative diagnosis is made only in 4% of the patients. This is due to its nonspecific presentation. The Latzko’s triad of a watery vaginal discharge, a colicky lower abdominal pain and a pelvic mass is typical of a fallopian tube carcinoma, but this triad is seen only in lessthan 15% of the patients. Here, we are reporting such a case of 66years old postmenopausal woman with fallopian tube carcinoma with atypical symptoms presenting as adnexal cyst.
