title: [Tubal carcinoma. Clinical and anatomo-pathologic considerations on an unusual lesion].
abstract: Tubal carcinoma is the rarest neoplasia of the gynecological tract; it is found during the course of abdomino-gynecological surgery with an incidence of 1:1000. The authors report a case of papilliferous tubal carcinoma which was brought to their attention having not been recognised earlier. In fact, diagnosis was made at an advanced stage during the course of emergency surgery 2 days after hospitalisation. Intraoperative histological tests resulted in bilateral adnexectomy (without apparent damage to the tubes) as well as colostomy on the transverse colon due to stenosis of the sigmoid caused by serofibrinous peritonitis. The final histological analysis of the part removed confirmed the intraoperative diagnosis.
