[Fimbria form of primary fallopian tube carcinoma--case report and literature review].
The classification of primary fallopian tube cancer (PRJ) set in 1991 in accordance to FIGO is unquestionable the best prognostic marker. Nowadays there some circumstances indicate the necessity of its modification. Authors describe a clinical course and morphological picture of PRJ located in fimbria. The subclinical form of PRJ was diagnosed during an explorative laparotomy due to high blood CA 125 level. In the modified classification of PRJ the fimbrial localization of cancer is defined as IF grade. We think, that in this special form of PRJ there is considerable possibility of early metastases to ovary and to the peritoneum. Besides because of fimbria peculiar anatomic structure the cases of PRJ located in fimbria should be classified as IIF grade. The role of blood CA 125 as PRJ marker is then emphasized.
