Tubal adenocarcinoma in a case report

N Youssouf et al. Int J Surg Case Rep. 2022 Sep.

Abstract
in English, French

Introduction: Tumors of the uterine tube are rare pathologies representing less than 1 % of all gynecologic cancers; they are dominated by adenocarcinomas. Secondary metastatic forms are the most frequent, whereas primary tumors are very rare and represent only 10 %, which suggests that the fallopian tube is an organ with low oncogenic potential.

Case report: We report the case of a patient followed in the gynecology department C of the CHU IBN ROCHD CASA for a primary tubal adenocarcinoma, with a history of breast cancer.

Discussion: The diagnosis of its origin is difficult preoperatively, the treatment and staging are the same as for ovarian cancer.

Conclusion: The treatment is also identical to the management of ovarian cancer, but their prognosis is better because they are most often diagnosed at an earlier stage.

  1. •

    Primary tubal cancer is rare.

  2. •

    The treatment is also identical to the management of ovarian cancer.

  3. •

    MRI brings a great diagnostic interest.

  4. •

    The prognosis depends on the FIGO stage.
