A 51-year-old woman consulted for pelvic pain, metrorrhagia and leukorrhea. Physical examination revealed a renitent and mobile mass in the pelvis. A right lateral uterine mass with hydroxalpinx was found at ultrasonography. Pathology examination of the right annexectomy specimen provided the definitive diagnosis: fallopian tube cancer with polymyositis. No residual tumor was found at total hysterectomy with total bilateral annexectomy. The patient was lost to follow-up for three years without complementary treatment then consulted later for functional disability of the upper then lower limbs with myalgia, swallowing disorders and left supraclavian node enlargement resulting from pelvic relapse of the right fallopian tube adenocarcinoma and left supraclavian metastasis with paraneoplastic polymositis. The patient was given 6 courses of chemotherapy with radiotherapy (45 Gy) centered on the left clavian region. The patient exhibited a spectacular response, and remains in complete remission 50 months after diagnosis. The association of a fallopian tube tumor with polymyositis is exceptional, requiring rapid anticancer treatment effective against the cancer and the paraneoplastic polymyositis.

We report a rare case of adenomyoma localized only in the left fallopian tube mimicking tubal malignant tumor. A 45-year-old woman presented with mild pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and left adnexal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid tumor, suspected primary cancer of the fallopian tube, and serum carbohydrate antigen 125 was elevated to 72 U/mL (normal; 0-35). At surgery, the tumor was revealed as a left fallopian tube tumor without torsion. Postoperative histopathology showed that the tumor included bundle-like growing non-atypical leiomyoma cells and ectopic normal endometrium accompanied with endometrial stroma and we diagnosed primary adenomyoma of the left fallopian tube. Adenomyoma localized only in the fallopian tube is a rare entity and it can occur only in the fallopian tube.

Primary fallopian tube cancer in pregnancy is rare and is even more so for the clear cell variant. Our case is the third case of primary fallopian tube cancer in pregnancy and the first case of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube in pregnancy. The patient presented with increasing pelvic pain starting in the second trimester. Serial ultrasound evaluations were performed and revealed a rapidly growing complex adnexal mass adjacent to the uterus. Her pregnancy was further complicated by spontaneous preterm labor and she delivered prematurely per vaginam at 31 weeks. She underwent an urgent laparotomy in the immediate postpartum period for acute aggravation of her right pelvic pain and fever. The diagnosis of tubal clear cell adenocarcinoma was subsequently made on histopathology examination.
