Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Primary squamous cell carcinoma arising from the fallopian tube (SCCFT) is extremely rare with only six reported cases. We report a case of primary SCCFT accompanied by multifocal pyloric glandular metaplasia in the genital tract. An accompanying review of the literature describes the characteristics of this rare histological subtype invading into the muscular layer of the fallopian tube to involve adjacent pelvic organs, while the most common serous type tends to spread into the abdominal cavity through tubal ducts. Due to the low response rate of adjuvant therapies, the 5-year survival rate of patients bearing primary SCCFT at stage II-IV is very poor, only accounting for 25%. All patients were alive without disease where optimal resection had been successfully achieved. These findings imply that radical tumor resection is mandatory for satisfactory treatment of primary SCCFT. |
