Abstract

Purpose: This work aimed to study the features of primary fallopian tube carcinoma during pregnancy and to improve the understanding of clinical gynecologists. Methods: The clinical features of a case of primary fallopian tube carcinoma during pregnancy were analyzed. Results: The final diagnosis was Stage IA fallopian tube cancer after cesarean delivery. Conclusions: It is helpful to detect CA-125 level and employ B-mode ultrasound imaging. Patients should undergo routine celiac examinations before gynecological and obstetric procedures (including cesarean section and abdominal hysterotomy) are performed.
