Accidential detection of salpinx carcinoma after omphalocele repair.
BACKGROUND
Carcinoma of the fallopian tube is a rare disease accounting for < 1% of all gynecologic malignancies.


METHODS
We present the first case of an accidental diagnosis of fallopian tube carcinoma after omphalocele repair.


CONCLUSIONS
Between 9 to 14% of cases are incidental findings during the work-up or exploratory laparotomy. A review of the literature regarding predisposing factors, histology, clinical and ultrasound appearance, treatment as well as survival rates was also presented (Tab. 1, Ref. 33).
