title: [Adnexal torsion caused by Fallopian tube cancer].
abstract: Fallopian tube cancer is the less frequent gynecological cancer. It occurs typically between 40 and 65 years old. Diagnosis is usually achieved earlier than in ovarian cancer cases, due to early symptoms (typically abdominal pain, hydro-hematorrhea and adnexal mass). Preoperative correct diagnosis is infrequent, being most cases diagnosed during the surgery or in the pathological study. Histologically and clinically is similar to ovarian cancer, being the serous low differentiated the most frequent type. An early suspicion and a correct intervention are essential to obtain correct diagnosis and treatment. Treatment protocols are similar to those of ovarian cancer recommended by the FIGO.
