Özet

Malignant neoplasms of the fallopian tube are the rarest of the gynecologic cancers. The frequency of histologic subtypes has been difficult to ascertain from the literature because most authors have not classified these tumors according to their cell types. Papillary serous adenocarcinoma appears to be the most common histologic type. On the contrary, mixed cell types of fallopian tube carcinoma have rarely been reported in the literature. A case of mixed serous and endometrioid carcinoma of the fallopian tube is presented and the related literature is reviewed.
