1/3. Mixed serous and endometrioid carcinoma of the fallopian tube: a case report with literature review.Malignant neoplasms of the fallopian tube are the rarest of the gynecologic cancers. The frequency of histologic subtypes has been difficult to ascertain from the literature because most authors have not classified these tumors according to their cell types. Papillary serous adenocarcinoma appears to be the most common histologic type. On the contrary, mixed cell types of fallopian tube carcinoma have rarely been reported in the literature. A case of mixed serous and endometrioid carcinoma of the fallopian tube is presented and the related literature is reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Malignant mixed mullerian tumour of the fallopian tube of heterologous variety--a case report.A female aged 49 years presented with pain and progressive swelling of right lower abdomen. She was operated upon and gross examination revealed a proliferative growth in the fimbrial end of the right fallopian tube. Microscopically the tumour comprised of adenocarcinoma and component of spindle cell stromal sarcoma with areas of chondrosarcoma as heterologous element. A diagnosis of malignant mixed mullerian tumour of the fallopian tube, clinically FIGO stage III was made, which is extremely rare in available literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube.Primary malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube is uncommon. Only 37 cases of malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube have been reported to date and of these only 16 contained heterologous components (mesodermal mixed tumor). This rarity made us report a case of malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the fallopian tube containing heterologous components which was operated on in our gynecologic oncology department. Postoperatively the patient was placed on six courses of adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cis-platinum, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (PAC). Second look laparotomy was performed after completion of chemotherapy. Presently, she is doing well, at two months follow-up, with no evidence of disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
