Abstract(s)
Os tumores malignos primários da trompa constituem uma entidade ginecológica rara, correspondendo apenas a 0,3% do total de
neoplasias ginecológicas na mulher [1]. Clínica e histologicamente são semelhantes aos tumores epiteliais do ovário, dificultando
muitas vezes o seu correcto diagnóstico, inclusive sob o ponto de vista anátomo-patológico.
O carcinoma da trompa de Falópio afecta preferencialmente mulheres em menopausa (6ª década de vida) e nulíparas, sendo
igualmente frequente a associação com as mutações do fenótipo tipo BRCA.
A dificuldade evidente no seu adequado diagnóstico conduz frequentemente a uma laparotomia baseada no diagnóstico pré-
cirúrgico, presuntivo de atipia do ovário.
As técnicas de imagem, nomeadamente a RM, permitem a adequada diferenciação e caracterização dos tumores malignos da
trompa em relação a outras lesões anexiais complexas.
Primary Fallopian tube malignant tumors are a rare gynecologic entity, representing only 0,3% of all gynecological female tumors [1]. Histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian tumors, making their diagnosis difficult, even through pathologic analysis. The Fallopian tube carcinoma affects preferentially post-menopausal (6th decade of life) and nulliparous women, being also part of the BRCA mutation cancer phenotype. The difficulty in obtain the correct pre-surgical diagnosis, conducts to laparotomy based in a presumed diagnosis of primary ovarian cancer. Imaging techniques, mainly MR, characterize and differentiate fallopian tube tumors from other complex anexial lesions.
