Primary tumours of the fallopian tube: a report of eight cases of adenocarcinoma and one case of unusual carcinoma.

Nine patients with primary tumour of the fallopian tube were seen at the Royal Marsden Hospital and Chelsea Hospital for Women, London. All the tumours except one were adenocarcinomas. Histologically, the exception resembled an adenomatoid tumour, but was clinically malignant and had some features of a hemangiopericytoma.Postoperative irradiation did not increase survival. The only five-year survivor was a patient who received radiation therapy for a late local recurrence.
