Abstract:
The adenocarcinoma of appendix and fallopian tube are both very rare. The incidence rate for fallopian tube is less than 1% of all genital malignancies. Fallopian tubes have been very rarely associated with synchronous tumorigenesis, and to the authors knowledge, the combination of mucinous adenocarcinoma of appendix has never been previously reported. The authors experienced a extremely rare case of synchronous adenocarcinoma of appendix and fallopian tube in 56 years old female patient who has suffered for 10days from RLQ abdominal pain. Pathologic examination of the resected specimen revealed a synchronous mucinous type adenocarcinoma of vermiform appendix and fallopian tube.
