Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma Presenting as a Broad Ligament Fibroid: A Rare Case

Primary fallopian tube carcinomas (PFTCs) are quite rare with the incidence ranging from 0.3% to 1.1% amongst all the gynaecological malignancies. Here, we present a rare case of a 44-year-old female (parity-2, live-2 and abortion-2), with one previous classical caesarean section and one vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC), bilateral tubal ligation done referred to our gynaecology OPD with complaints of pain in the abdomen since the past six days. The patient also had complaint of spotting per vagina for the past two months. Her ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced CT abdomen and pelvis were suggestive of broad ligament fibroid, which turned out to be a PFTC. Primary fallopian tube malignancies are so rare that this entity may be missed in routine clinical practice and surprisingly noticed during operative procedure or on histopathology reports. Thus, one must be aware of this rare clinical entity and keep it in mind while taking patients on the operating table.
