title: Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube.
abstract: The present report of 16 new cases of fallopian tube carcinoma also includes 2 new cases of adenoacanthoma, an exceedingly rare tumor. The histologic evaluation of tubal carcinoma is discussed. A meticulous search at surgery for occult disease is urged, because penetration of the tubal serosa seems to be the most important determinant of prognosis. Suggestions are made for adjunctive therapy, although the authors believe the time has come for a multicentered attempt to evaluate treatment protocols randomly.
