Carcinoma in situ of the Fallopian Tube Associated with Cervical Carcinoma: Case Report

Abstract

A case of carcinoma in situ of the fallopian tube in a 55-year-old woman, associated to cervical carcinoma is described.

This previously unreported association of carcinoma in situ of the fallopian tube, with carcinoma of the uterine cervix, emphasizes the notion of the multicentric neoplastic possibilities of the müllerian tract derivatives.
