Abstract
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is rare and constitutes about 0.14% to 1.8% of all female genital (gynaecological) malignancies. It is so rare that it is often mistaken histologically and clinically for ovarian cancer. It arises in post menopausal women and typically presents with vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain and watery discharge. We present a case of primary fallopian tube carcinoma in a 55yr old nulliparous female who presented with post menopausal bleeding
