--- abstract: 'Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is a rare entity that accounts for 0.2-0.5% of all gynecologic malignancies, and most are discovered during or after surgery. Primary transitional cell carcinoma of the fallopian tube is an extremely rare tumor that is reported only occasionally in the worldwide literature. As primary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the fallopian tube is so rare, the clinicopathologic characteristics are as yet unknown. The authors recently experienced a case of primary transitional cell carcinoma arising in the left fallopian tube and thus report the clinical features, management, and also a review of the past pertinent literature. A 52 years old woman presenting with lower abdominal pain was found to have a left adnexal mass. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a mass arising from the left fallopian tube with the histologic features of transitional cell carcinoma.' altloc: - http://www.ojhas.org/issue40/2011-4-8.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - kavitamardi@yahoo.co.in - ~ creators_name: - family: Mardi given: K honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kaushal given: V honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2012-01-15 date_type: published datestamp: 2013-05-04 23:03:53 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/88/58 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: - Kakkilaya BS editors_name: - family: Kakkilaya given: Srinivas honourific: Dr lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8858 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/8858/1/2011-4-8.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences lastmod: 2013-05-04 23:03:53 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 4(8) pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences publisher: BS Kakkilaya refereed: TRUE referencetext: "1.\tKim JW, Cho EM, Kim YT, Han JH: A case of primary transitional cell carcinoma of the fallopian tube.
