Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is a rare malignancy of the female genital tract and infrequently diagnosed before an operation. The majority of patients have extensive disease at the time of diagnosis. We have experienced incidentally a case of a carcinoma of the fallopian tube coexisting with a benign cystic teratoma of the ovary in a 25-year-old woman. We report this case with a brief review of literatures.
