Abstract

A 60 years old postmenopausal woman was presented with complaints of intermittent watery discharge from vagina, and of cramping pain at the lower abdomen. On pelvic examination, blood tinged watery discharge was seen coming out of os. But, ultrasonography revealed bilateral adenexal masses and pyometra. The serum CA-125 level in blood was raised. Cervical smear showed inflammatory changes, but endometrial histopathology was negative for malignant cells. Suspecting ovarian malignancy, laparotomy was done that revealed the bilateral tubal growth with normal ovaries; the right adenexal mass was of the size (6.8×4.8) cm while, the left adenexal mass was the size of (4.2×2.6) cm. Histopathology study revealed bilateral serous cyst adenocarcinoma of fallopian tubes. The case of bilateral primary fallopian tube carcinoma was presented here for its rarity.
