title: Preoperative CT diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma in a patient with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy.
abstract: Fallopian tube carcinoma is an unusual gynecologic malignancy that is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. We report a case of fallopian tube carcinoma occurring in a patient who had undergone a hysterectomy many years previously, in whom findings on computed tomography and ultrasound were highly suggestive of the diagnosis.
