Carcinoma of the fallopian tube presenting as renal failure: case report.
We describe a patient with carcinoma of a fallopian tube initially presenting with oliguric renal failure. Urinary tract symptoms are uncommon as a result of this rare tumor, and renal failure due to bilateral ureteral obstruction by nodal metastases has not been reported previously as a complication.
