  • Title: Adenocarcinoma of the cervix involving the fallopian tube mucosa: report of a case.
    Author: Deel CD, Allen RA, Holman LL, Zuna RE.
    Journal: Diagn Pathol; 2016 Aug 17; 11(1):77. PubMed ID: 27530463.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Fallopian tube involvement by cervical carcinoma has rarely been documented, with literature reports focusing primarily on squamous cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present the case of a 50 year old woman who presented with an abnormal Pap test with atypical squamous and glandular cells. A loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) was performed and led to the diagnosis of stage IB1 endocervical adenocarcinoma. Subsequent radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection showed a well-differentiated endocervical adenocarcinoma of usual type with superficial spread to the endometrium and right fallopian tube. The patient received no adjuvant therapy and has remained without evidence of disease. CONCLUSIONS: While the advent of more extensive fallopian tube sampling has led to increased discovery and discussion of fallopian tube involvement by metastatic carcinoma, its impact on treatment and prognosis remains to be seen.
