Abstract:
Primary choriocarcinoma of fallopian tube is a extremely rare. At the time of initial presentation, symptoms are usually similar to those of traditional tubal pregnancies. The diagnosis is usually made on histological examination of a surgically resected specimen. Chemotherapy is required in most patients following initial operation including unilateral adnexectomy or salpingectomy. Primary choriocarcinoma of fallopian tube appears to have the same favorable prognosis as does uterine choriocarcinoma. We experienced one case of primary choriocarcinoma of fallopian tube, and report this with brief review of the literatures.
